Mark Neumann: “we need young people who are going to dream about the future of America, and their dream is not going to be so…”

On the recordJuly 29, 1997
we need young people who are going to dream about the future of America, and their dream is not going to be so influenced by Washington control that they can once again open their own minds to think about what they can do, work hard, achieve, get ahead, live the American dream. We need our young people to once again look at this great Nation and see that they have the opportunity, if they work hard, take care of themselves, to get ahead in our country. That is what made America great in the first place is people who were able to look not with government influence and not to Washington, but were able to reach down deep inside of themselves and figure out what it was that was going to make themselves and their Nation a better place. That is what we need. We need people who are willing to dream again.
