A LOT BETTER THAN "TWO AMERICAS"
From a reader, who transcribed this from the video clip.
"The New American Dream," an Excerpt from National Call Day speech:
"I am real concerned about the America that my grandkids and your grandkids will inherit. Will we be known as one of the great generations--or not? And that depends on the decisions which we make as a nation. I want to see a new American Dream. When I was growing up my parents talked about the American Dream meaning a home in the suburbs. That doesn't cut it anymore. For me the new American dream that we have to build is a dream with strong families, great schools, health care people know that they can afford and will be with them throughout their life. A safe and prosperous nation in which to earn their livelihood. A new American dream is what are going to have to build together."
