Remarks by Richard A. Gephardt at his Announcement of Presidential Candidacy on February 19, 2003 at Mason Elementary School in St. Louis, Missouri.
"With your help, we can take that fight to the most powerful office in the history of humankind. We can build an America where we grow together, instead of being pulled apart - where our economy's strong, because all our families are secure - where nobody's left out or left behind.
"Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless these United States of America."
