 * The American Dream is what seperates our lives from reality. The American Dream for men is nothing more than to have lots of money, to have a terrific woman to marry and live with for the rest of their lives, and to carry out their childhood dream. The American Dream for women is that they would have a good husband, a child or two, a good education, a good job,and a good house to live in.

 * We believe that what matters most is not narrow appeals masquerading as values, but the shared values that show the true face of America; not narrow values that divide us, but the shared values that unite us: family, faith, hard work, opportunity and responsibility for all, so that every child, every adult, every parent, every worker in America has an equal shot at living up to their God-given potential. That is the American dream and the American value.
 * Senator John Kerry
