"Rarely has there been a moment more urgent for Americans to step up and define ourselves again. On the line is a fundamental choice. A choice between a view that says ?you?re on your own,? ?go it alone,? or ?every man for himself.? Or a different view - a different philosophy - a different conviction of governance - a belief that says our great American challenge is one of shared endeavor and shared sacrifice.

But for those who still believe in the great tradition of Americans doing great things together, it?s time we started acting like it. We can never compete with the go-it- alone crowd in appeals to selfishness. We can?t afford to be pale imitations of the other side in playing the ?what?s in it for me? game. Instead, it?s time we put our appeals where our hearts are - asking the American people to make our country as strong, prosperous, and big-hearted as we know we can be - every day. It?s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what?s in it for ?me,? but what?s in it for all of us?"
