I know that if the peace movement takes its message boldly to the Negro people a powerful force can be secured in pursuit of the greatest goal of all mankind. And the same is true of labor and the great democratic sections of our population.

I wish to assure you that there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the Lancaster House agreement.

America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

And I have to say what motivates me every day and I know my Democratic colleagues is to remember that every day 14 000 people get up in the morning with insurance that go to bed at night without it and most of them because they lost their job.

I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.

I'm so proud to represent the people of South Florida. I was so honored when President Obama asked me to serve as chair of the Democratic Party. But there's one job I'm even more proud of and that's being a mom to my three kids Rebecca Jake and Shelby.

Punishment is now unfashionable... because it creates moral distinctions among men which to the democratic mind are odious. We prefer a meaningless collective guilt to a meaningful individual responsibility.

Culture what you believe what you value how you live matters. Now as fundamental as these principles are they may become topics of democratic debates from time to time so it is today with the enduring institution of marriage. Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.

On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America - and our one million member activists - I am honored to be here to talk to you about what's at stake for women in 2012. I am proud to say that the Democratic Party believes that women have the right to choose a safe legal abortion with dignity and privacy.

While there continues to be differences the important point is that all citizens and elected officials use democratic and legal avenues for solving those differences.

They view massive immigration as a massive infusion of potential voters for the Democratic Party and therefore will do nothing absolutely nothing to stop that flow of legal or illegal entrance into the country.

The Democratic Party looks at massive immigration legal and illegal as a source of voters.

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion and not on the opinion of the masses.

I'm not up on the Internet but I hear that is a democratic possibility. People can connect with each other. I think people are ready for something but there is no leadership to offer it to them. People are ready to say 'Yes we are part of a world.'

The message of the free world to any potential Palestinian leadership should be a simple one: Embrace democratic reform and we will embrace you.

To meet the expectations of the majority of our people and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.

A lot of the things that we've been able to do in the last several years were Democratic ideas including the structure for this new director of national intelligence.

The security of the United States which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written Republican politicians... if they all love you you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.

House and Senate Republicans are now united in adopting earmark bans. We hope President Obama will follow through on his support for an earmark ban by pressing Democratic leaders to join House and Senate Republicans in taking this critical step to restore public trust.

I just hope that the democratic will of the Zimbabwean people prevails. If it does we must move quickly to help restore stability and prosperity.

I hope the two wings of the Democratic Party may flap together.

Our history is that we can very aggressively if necessary and openly and democratically discuss our differences. We have a democratic history in which we come together and vote on these things.
