Examine our records; examine our backgrounds; examine our programs, and then decide: Is this the leadership America needs?
We want America to move forward, and we want all of America to move together.
We will never reduce America's strength without getting a reduction in strength on his part, as well.
We will lead the world, as we should, to peace without surrender, and we shall lead also to the extension of freedom throughout the world.
