Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I am glad also that the government of the United States can assure you today that it is taking definite, practical steps for the defense of the nation."

"The sovereignty of the United States will never be impaired."

"The importance of what we are doing this year, in our own generation, to keep alive the spirit of American democracy, the spirit of opportunity, we cannot over-estimate."

"I will give you an example: One of our southern states... has a very large power company."
