“Let us not be afraid to help each other — let us never forge…”

“Let us not be afraid to help each other — let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and Government officials but the voters of this country.”

— Franklin D. Roosevelt
