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 goal was first set by a Democratic administration in the Federal Housing Act of 1949.

There is a God today and He hates injustice, and we see the storm coming.
I ask you to join me in this campaign with a full recognition of all opportunities to rebuild our strength, rebuild our prestige, maintain our security, and maintain ourselves as the leaders of the free world.
In the American Revolution, Thomas Paine said, 'The cause of America is the cause of all mankind.'
We believe in doing better than we are doing, and they believe in standing still.
Our argument with the Republicans is not because we do not know that they share a common goal for America - they do - but our argument with them is that they don't know how to do it.
