been hijacked by Wall Street interests whose unspoken agenda is alien to the needs of the American people. I
call on Democrats to fight back. This is your party, and not the party of Howard Dean. My campaign is the
real Democratic Party. I call on my supporters to seize control of the party apparatus in every state, and to
make sure that my name will be on the ballot in November, so as to guarantee the American people the choice
of at least one candidate who is actually qualified to be president in this crisis. In the midst of war and
economic depression, we cannot permit another failed presidency on the part of yet another feckless and
incompetent demagogue who has come out of nowhere to contravene the clear will of the voters in his quest
for the highest office. Our national survival is once again at stake. Democrats, rally to me! Because of who I
am and because of the grave responsibilities which I face, I call upon you to support me, whatever may
happen. The Democratic Party is not the plaything of wealthy elitists. We are the New Deal Democrats, the
party of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, and with your help we will secure the future.” Perhaps
one day she will deliver a speech like this.

Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, with support from the
Ford Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, and a generous gift from Mr. David Rubenstein, has launched a
multi-year, bipartisan initiative to develop a sustainable and effective national security strategy for the United
States of America. Under the stewardship of honorary co-chairs George Shultz and Anthony Lake, the
Princeton Project brings together leading thinkers on national security from government, academe, business,
and the non-profit sector to analyze key issues and develop innovative responses to a range of national
security threats.’ (http://www.princeton.edu/~ppns/)

openly preparatory to compulsory service in the Army?” (Daily Worker, June 6, 1938)
