constantly reaching out to extend and enlarge that family; lifting them up into the wagon on the way; blacks and Hispanics, and people of every ethnic group, and native Americans -- all those struggling to build their families and claim some small share of America. For nearly 50 years we carried them all to new levels of comfort, and security, and dignity, even affluence.

我们民主党人相信其他东西。我们民主党人相信，我们可以在整个家庭完好无损的情况下一路前行，而且我们不止一次。自从富兰克林·罗斯福（Franklin Roosevelt）从轮椅上站起来，把这个国家从一辆接一辆的马车上抬到教育、住房和和平的新前沿；全家人都在船上，不断伸出援手扩大家庭；在路上把他们抬上马车；黑人和西班牙裔，每个种族的人，以及土著美国人——所有那些努力建立自己的家庭并要求美国的一小部分份额的人。近50年来，我们把他们带到了舒适、安全、尊严甚至富裕的新水平。请记住，今天在座的一些人之所以来到这里，仅仅是因为这个国家有这样的信心。忘记这一点是错误的。
