У демократов и республиканцев очень разные и искренние представления о том, какой выбор мы должны сделать, основанные на принципиально различных взглядах на то, как нам решать общие проблемы внутри страны и как нам действовать в мире. Демократы хотят построить Америку, основанную на общих обязанностях и равных возможностях, и на большем международном сотрудничестве, действуя в одиночку лишь тогда, когда это необходимо. Мы считаем, что роль правительства – предоставить людям инструменты и условия для полноценной жизни. Республиканцы верят в Америку, управляемую "правильными" людьми, "своими" людьми, в мире, где мы действуем в одностороннем порядке, когда это возможно, и сотрудничаем, когда вынуждены. Они полагают, что роль правительства заключается в концентрации богатства и власти в руках тех, кто разделяет их политические, экономические и социальные взгляды, оставляя простых граждан наедине с такими вопросами, как здравоохранение и пенсионное обеспечение. Поскольку большинство американцев не придерживаются столь правых взглядов, они вынуждены изображать нас, демократов, неприемлемыми, лишенными силы и ценностей. Иными словами, им нужна разделенная Америка, а нам – нет. — Билл Клинтон
"Democrats and Republicans have very different and honestly held ideas on that choices we should make, rooted in fundamentally different views of how we should meet our common challenges at home and how we should play our role in the world. Democrats want to build an America of shared responsibilities and shared opportunities and more global cooperation, acting alone only when we must. We think the role of government is to give people the tools and conditions to make the most of their lives. Republicans believe in an America run by the right people, their people, in a world in which we act unilaterally when we can, and cooperate when we have to. They think the role of government is to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of those who embrace their political, economic, and social views, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves on matters like health care and retirement security. Since most Americans are not that far to the right, they have to portray us Democrats as unacceptable, lacking in strength and values. In other words, they need a divided America—but we don't." —Bill Clinton
"Strength and wisdom are not opposing values. "—Bill Clinton
"And so I say to you and to others around the world, whether they wish us well or ill — do not underestimate us Americans. We lack neither strength nor wisdom." —Jimmy Carter
"I'll be candid with you. I had hoped to be back here this week under different circumstances, running for reelection. But you know the old saying — you win some, you lose some. And then there's that little known third category." —Al Gore
"Take it from me — every vote counts. In our Democracy, every vote has power. And never forget — that power is yours. Don't let anyone take it away or talk you into throwing it away. And let's make sure that this time every vote is counted." —Al Gore

Цитаты
Я видел их желание вернуть нашу страну американскому народу. Я увидел это в студентки из Пенсильвании, которая продала свой велосипед и прислала нам чек на сто долларов с запиской: «Я продала свой велосипед ради демократии». Я увидел это в женщине из Айовы, которая протянула мне пятьдесят долларов — все в четвертяках. Она копила их из своей ежемесячной выплаты по инвалидности, потому что хотела, чтобы Америка снова стала сильной. И я увидел это в 19-летнем парне из Алабамы, который раньше никогда не интересовался политикой, но сел в машину и поехал в Вермонт, потому что чувствовал, что его не слышат в Вашингтоне. Он был лишь одним из многих. Они поняли, что политика — это слишком серьезно, чтобы оставлять ее политикам. Они не просто собрали вещи — они поддержали надежду на то, что мы сможем вернуть нашу страну. И знаете что? Мы это сделаем. — Говард Дин
"I’ve seen their desire to take our country back for the American people. I saw it in a college student in Pennsylvania who sold her bicycle and sent us a check for one hundred dollars with a note that said, "I sold my bicycle for democracy." I saw it in a woman from Iowa who handed me fifty dollars — all in quarters. She saved it from her monthly disability check, because she wanted to make America well again. And I saw it in the 19 year old from Alabama who had never been involved in politics before he got in his car and drove up to Vermont, because he didn't feel like he was being heard in Washington. He was just one of so many. They learned that politics was too important to be left to the politicians. They didn't just pack their bags—they backed their hopes that we can take our country back. And you know what? We will." —Howard Dean
"Words can be cheap in a political year, we all know that. But I'm going to borrow some familiar ones, to tell you that we need John Kerry as president — because we need a uniter, not a divider, in the White House. We need John Kerry as president because it's time to restore honor and dignity to the White House — to have a president whose whole life is a testament to his goodness and decency, to his courage under fire. We need John Kerry as president of the United States of America, because he will fight for working families, and help America to be what it ought to be." —Richard Gephardt
"Today, more than two centuries after the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard "round the world", the ideals of our founders still resonate across the globe. Young people in other lands — inspired by the liberty we cherish — linked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome" when the Berlin Wall fell, when apartheid ended in South Africa, and when the courageous protests took place in Tiananmen Square. The goals of the American people are every bit as high as they were more than two hundred years ago. If America is failing to reach them today, it's not because our ideals need replacing, it's because our President needs replacing." —Edward M. Kennedy
"I learned something then, and I believe it still. There is a value in taking a stand whether or not anyone may be noticing and whether or not it is a risky thing to do. And if even those who are in danger can raise their lonely voices, isn't more required of all of us, in this land where liberty had her birth? In America, the true patriots are those who dare speak truth to power." —Teresa Heinz Kerry
"I was elected mayor at age 31 because I dared mighty things for the citizens of my city." —Kwame Kilpatrick
A twelve year old founder of Kidsforkerry. Org addressed the delegates. She scolded Dick Cheney for his use of an expletive in a public remark to U. S. Senator Patrick Leahy. "When our vice president had a disagreement with a Democratic senator, he used a really bad word. If I said that word, I would be put in a timeout. I think he should be put in a timeout." —Ilana Wexler

Все мы знаем, что в политический год слова ничего не стоят. Но я воспользуюсь знакомыми фразами, чтобы сказать вам: нам нужен Джон Керри президентом — потому что нам нужен объединитель, а не разжигатель розни в Белом доме. Нам нужен Джон Керри президентом, потому что пора восстановить честь и достоинство Белого дома — нужен президент, чья жизнь — свидетельство его доброты, порядочности и мужества. Нам нужен Джон Керри президентом Соединенных Штатов Америки, потому что он будет бороться за рабочие семьи и поможет Америке стать такой, какой она должна быть. — Ричард Гепардт

Сегодня, спустя более двух столетий после того, как отважные фермеры дали первый выстрел, который прогремел по всему миру, идеалы наших отцов-основателей по-прежнему звучат во всем мире. Молодые люди в других странах, вдохновленные той свободой, которую мы ценим, взялись за руки и пели «Мы победим», когда пала Берлинская стена, когда закончилась апартеид в Южной Африке и когда на площади Тяньаньмэнь состоялись мужественные протесты. Цели американского народа по-прежнему так же высоки, как и более двухсот лет назад. Если Америка сегодня не достигает их, это не потому, что наши идеалы устарели, а потому, что нашего президента нужно заменить. — Эдвард М. Кеннеди

Я кое-что понял тогда, и я верю в это до сих пор: важно занимать позицию, даже если никто этого не замечает и это рискованно. И если даже те, кто в опасности, могут поднять свой голос, разве от нас, живущих в стране, где родилась свобода, не требуется большего? В Америке настоящие патриоты — это те, кто осмеливается говорить правду власти. — Тереза Хайнц Керри

"Today, more than two centuries after the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard "round the world", the ideals of our founders still resonate across the globe. Young people in other lands — inspired by the liberty we cherish — linked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome" when the Berlin Wall fell, when apartheid ended in South Africa, and when the courageous protests took place in Tiananmen Square. The goals of the American people are every bit as high as they were more than two hundred years ago. If America is failing to reach them today, it's not because our ideals need replacing, it's because our President needs replacing." —Edward M. Kennedy
"I learned something then, and I believe it still. There is a value in taking a stand whether or not anyone may be noticing and whether or not it is a risky thing to do. And if even those who are in danger can raise their lonely voices, isn't more required of all of us, in this land where liberty had her birth? In America, the true patriots are those who dare speak truth to power." —Teresa Heinz Kerry

"I’ve seen their desire to take our country back for the American people. I saw it in a college student in Pennsylvania who sold her bicycle and sent us a check for one hundred dollars with a note that said, "I sold my bicycle for democracy." I saw it in a woman from Iowa who handed me fifty dollars — all in quarters. She saved it from her monthly disability check, because she wanted to make America well again. And I saw it in the 19 year old from Alabama who had never been involved in politics before he got in his car and drove up to Vermont, because he didn't feel like he was being heard in Washington. He was just one of so many. They learned that politics was too important to be left to the politicians. They didn't just pack their bags—they backed their hopes that we can take our country back. And you know what? We will." —Howard Dean

Дорогие американцы, мне не нужно говорить вам, что мир – опасное место. Мы постоянно вспоминаем об этом в повседневной жизни, и мы видели это на улицах, в метро и в аэропортах вокруг этого съезда. Аль-Каида – наследник врагов, которых мы побеждали и прежде – современный эквивалент нацистов и фашистов, ненавидящих ценности, лежащие в основе американского образа жизни: демократию и плюрализм, разнообразие и терпимость, инновации и достижения, силу и свободу. И судьба Аль-Каиды будет такой же, как и у других тиранов и головорезов – мы их победим. — Билл Ричардсон
"My fellow Americans, I don't need to tell you that the world is a dangerous place. We are reminded of that in our everyday lives — and we have seen it on the streets and in the subways and airports outside this convention. Al Qaeda is the heir to enemies we have defeated before — today's equivalent of Nazis and fascists who hate the values at the core of the American way of life: democracy and pluralism, diversity and tolerance, innovation and achievement, strength and freedom. And the fate of Al Qaeda will be the same as those other tyrants and thugs—we will defeat them." —Bill Richardson
"This is not about a party. It is about living up to the promise of America. The promise of America says that we will guarantee quality education for all children, and not spend more for metal detectors than computers in our schools. The promise of America guarantees health care for all of its citizens, and does not force seniors to travel to Canada to buy prescription drugs they cannot afford here. The promise of America provides that those who work in our health care system can afford to be hospitalized in the very beds that they clean everyday. The promise of America is government that does not seek to regulate your behavior in the bedroom but to guarantee your right to provide food in the kitchen. The promise of America is that we stand for human rights – whether it's fighting slavery in Sudan, AIDS in Lesotho, or police brutality in this country.

Это не о партийных интересах. Это о том, чтобы оправдать надежды, возлагаемые на Америку. Надежда Америки заключается в том, что мы гарантируем качественное образование для всех детей, а не тратим больше средств на металлодетекторы, чем на компьютеры в школах. Надежда Америки гарантирует здравоохранение для всех граждан и не вынуждает пожилых людей ездить в Канаду за рецептурными лекарствами, которые они не могут себе позволить здесь. Надежда Америки предполагает, что те, кто работает в системе здравоохранения, смогут позволить себе лечение в тех же палатах, которые они убирают каждый день. Надежда Америки – это правительство, которое не стремится регулировать вашу личную жизнь, а гарантирует ваше право обеспечить себя пищей. Надежда Америки – это защита прав человека, будь то борьба с рабством в Судане, СПИДом в Лесото или жестокостью полиции в нашей стране. Надежда Америки – это единая иммиграционная политика для всех, кто стремится попасть на наши берега, независимо от того, прибывают ли они из Мексики, Гаити или Канады. Надежда Америки – это подсчет и защита голоса каждого гражданина, а не определение результатов выборов с помощью махинаций. — Аль Шарптон

Цитаты
В ходе этой кампании я слышал, как люди говорят о Джоне Керри как об отце и о Джоне Керри как о государственном деятеле, словно это два разных человека. Но я могу вас заверить, что это один и тот же человек. Я знаю его ценности, которые проявляются в тихих телефонных звонках в одиннадцать вечера, полных разочарования от увиденного на работе, или в простом напоминании о том, что мы никогда не должны отворачиваться от нуждающихся. То, что движет моим отцом служить, – это именно то, что сделало этого государственного деятеля отцом, которым я горжусь, на которого равняюсь и которого люблю. – Ваннеса Керри
"During the course of this campaign, I've heard people talk about John Kerry the father and John Kerry the public servant as if they were two people divided. But, I can assure you all they are truly one and the same. I know his values revealed in quiet 11 p. m. phone calls of frustration from what he's seen at work, or the simple reminder that we never turn our backs on those in need.
