If I get to be president, what can I do anyway? With Congress and the press, what chance do I have to make basic changes?

Everything that makes man's life worthwhile - family, work, education, a place to rear one's children and a place to rest one's head - all this depends on the decisions of government; all can be swept away by a government which does not heed the demands of its people, and I mean all of its people.

Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard, to share in the decisions of government which shape men's lives.
