If this country was founded as a haven where all who believe in liberty could come. live together in harmony. and try to make their lives better. then it follows that a party which hopes to lead the country must believe in these things. too. So we Democrats have always been the one great national political party. made up of people from all sections. all classes. all races. all religions. From the outset. we have been the party that has met the immigrant at the dock and helped him to become a citizenjust as it reached out a helping hand to the sharecropper. the working man. the student. and the businessman. But we knew that this was not enough. Jefferson said that the only healthy republic was one of educated citizens. each with a stake in his countrys welfare.
