John Kennedy actually said...

"As one who participated in a presidential campaign, I heartily endorse this recommendation."

"By our free choice, we vote and in other ways participate in the politics of our democracy."

"Accordingly, it is essential to broaden the base of financial support for candidates and parties."

"If the financial burdens of presidential campaigns are to be widely shared, then some system of incentives must be established to encourage broad solicitation and giving."
