John Kennedy
The Public Record
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1961, until his assassination on November 22, 1963. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Massachusetts and is often remembered for his leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Kennedy also established the Peace Corps, promoting international service and cooperation, and he advocated for civil rights, laying the groundwork for future legislation in this area.
This State symbolizes the opportunities and the responsibilities and the problems which face the United States as a whole.
But if we are going to maintain full employment in the State, if we are going to realize the opportunities that are before our people, I think that it requires the Democratic Party, it requires your help and it requires Ohio.
I do come here as a candidate for the office of the Presidency and I run for the office of the Presidency in a most difficult and dangerous time for us all
It is a contest between those who believe that the future can be better for our people and it is a contest between those who say 'Yes' to the next 10 years and those who say 'No' or 'Maybe.'
It represents all of the opportunities that are before us as a country and as a people.
If I am elected President of the United States, I do think it is possible to set before the American people the things which we must do in order to maintain our freedom
I don’t think there has been any presidential election where the issues are so serious, the problems facing the United States so burdensome, the responsibilities so heavy upon us all
I want to express my appreciation to all of you for a very generous welcome to Ohio.
