Transcription
TRANSCRIPTION: You know when each of us is a special love for our home. And for our neighbors the people who live next door to us and a kind of Brotherly Love for our fellow men and women people. We may not know who live in other neighborhoods. We hear about a hardship in someone else's life because we feel for that person. We can respond with our hearts. Thirty seven million of us are without health insurance. If they were sick or if they had a sick child what would they do? If they lived next door to you and asked you for your help what would you do? When you face the choice to help or not to help you find the stuff that keeps Nations and neighborhoods together. I think the Republicans have underestimated America's capacity to care. Because I don't think anyone given the chance to help would turn away. We're better people than that. I hope he wins.
