John Kennedy actually said...

"We should hold out the hand to those people before the moment of desperation comes, and then accompany them on the road to freedom."

"I ask your help in this campaign because I believe that in 1960 the Democratic Party in this State and across the country has a chance to be of service."

"On the economic scene, we must prove that our Nation will not rest as long as segments of our people are in want."

"I appreciate very much your coming outside and saying 'hello,' and I want to assure you that we share the same hope, not only for this State, but also for the country."
