It is a far-reaching and comprehensive study which examines in detail the vital problems of our cities and suburbs throughout America.

I urge that it be given careful study, not only by urban officials, but also by all others concerned with life in our cities.

I stand where Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman stood, and I want your help.

I believe that it is time this country began to move forward again.

I don't say that all people have equal talent, but what I do say is that everyone should have their chance to develop their talent equally.

The real issue is which party and which candidate can best strengthen the United States, can best serve the public interest.

I ask the support of all those who believe in progressive government, the government that goes to work.

So I come to Brooklyn to ask your help in this campaign, and if we are elected, we are going to go to work.

I think it is time we started moving ahead as Americans and as believers in freedom.

I come over here to Brooklyn in this campaign to ask your help.

He runs on a slogan of standing up to Khrushchev, and yet he is not willing to let the American people hear him for the fifth time espouse his views of what our country must do.

This is a contest between the comfortable and the concerned, and here in Brooklyn they are concerned as they are all over America.

I run for the Presidency in the most difficult time in the life of our country, but with the greatest confidence, that if this country is given the kind of leadership which I believe it needs, if we are willing to go to work again, this…

My name is John Kennedy, and I come here as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States.

Political action is the highest responsibility of a citizen.

I run against Mr. Nixon - I wish he were here to hear that cheer.

I believe we stand on the side of the future.

Something short of our best is not good enough.

We must increase the provision for rehabilitation and training of the physically and mentally handicapped.

We can give older citizens a new sense of usefulness by encouraging them to engage in such needed activities as homemaker services, practical nursing, and Senior center leadership.
