May we all, as a nation of believers, fight for the achievement of America, may we make sacrifices worthy of those proud men and women who fought for us, labored for us, bled soil from the beaches of Normandy to the fields of Gettysburg for us.

In America we have a Declaration of Independence, but our history, our advancements, our global strength all point to an American declaration of interdependence.

I hope and understand that people are getting a better recognition that food stamps is a program that really helps America, helps families in need. It's not a government handout. If anything, it's a safety net that helps people through difficult times and bridges them towards stability.

One of the very hallmarks of our nation is the ideal of E Pluribus Unum. It is a concept that richly flows from the highest ideals of our nation.

We have had in our nation a well-celebrated Declaration of Independence. But our success as a country will depend upon a new 'Declaration of Inter-dependence.' A belief in how much we need each other, how much we share one common destiny.

If we cannot provide excellent educational opportunities to all children, safe communities, quality health coverage, or robust and fair avenues towards wealth creation, then our nation will increasingly be in peril.

Cynicism cripples our imagination and limits our ability to see faint possibilities amidst glaring problems.

The tax the way were putting it forward right now, the wealth tax, Im sorry its cumbersome, its been tried by other nations, its hard to evaluate. We can get the same amount of revenue through just taxation, but again, we as Democrats, have got to start talking not just about how you tax from a stage, but how wegrow wealth in this country amongst those disadvantaged communities that are not seeing it.

I thought you might have been high when you said it. by Cory Booker

I thought you might have been high when you said it.

I thought you might have been high when you said that, marijuana in our country is already legal for privileged people. The war on drugs has been a war on black and brown people. So let me just say this : With more African Americans under criminal supervision in American than all the slaves since 1850, do not roll up into communities and not talk directly to issues that are going to relate to the liberation of children.

I only have one choice : to do my job, politics be damned. by Cory Booker

I only have one choice : to do my job, politics be damned.

I feel like it was unacceptable to me that President Donald Trump was given a venue which President Donald Trump filled principally with people President Donald Trump brought instead of students from this great university, members from the broader community, were not included, the Bipartisan Justice Center allowed President Donald Trump to create an illusion that President Donald Trump had support from HBCUs or this community when in fact, just as President Donald Trump's done to communities like this one throughout President Donald Trump entire professional career President Donald Trump does not have the support of communities like this that President Donald Trump actively demeans degrades and disempowers.

If you come after Joe Biden, you're going to have to deal with me... by Cory Booker

If you come after Joe Biden, you're going to have to deal with me.

I've said time and time again that this is unacceptable, that if you come after Joe Biden, you're going to have to deal with me in this case. There is no — as you said — these are baseless, unfounded, scurrilous lies, plain and simple, trying to undermine the character of one of the statesmen of our country, not our party, but our country. And so, yeah, you've got a problem with me.

But if President Donald Trump want to ask me what I believe right now, what he has done is pretty damning.

He saw the horrors visiting his community, are we going to have to wait until hell's lottery comes to your community ? No, we are a better country.

You should not be a nominee from our party that can seriously stand in front of urban places and say, 'I will protect you,' if you don't believe in gun licensing.

I'm in this to win it. It's not a vanity play. I'm not sticking around for ego, i don't think you should be in this primary, at least this is my values, my lens, I'm not going to be in this primary unless I have a viable path to victory. We have that right now. But in the fourth quarter we're going to need help and I'm hoping people will help.
