| Description | Governor Dean spoke:
Over and over, I heard the same questions:
If our country is so rich, why am I barely getting by? If our country is so strong, why are we being made to feel so afraid? If our country is so powerful, why do I feel so powerless?
These questions are larger than any one issue or program or policy prescription.
What I have seen and heard across America is that people feel disconnected from their government and our business leaders -- and from one another. They are afraid America is becoming more and more hated across the world. And they worry that they may always be struggling just to make ends meet.
This is where our country is. And this is what has shaped our campaign into what it is today.
We stand here today for all those who feel that Washington has forgotten them.
We stand here today for all those who believe that when our government serves only the big corporations, it betrays everything our country represents.
We stand here today for all those who believe America should not only be feared by the world, but admired.
We stand here today ready to challenge the old political order which has shut the people out of the process. We stand here ready to declare with our voices and our votes: "America is better than this."
