Arlen Specter Presidential Announcement on March 30, 1995.
"Today, I offer my ideas -- my experience -- and my energy to the American people -- to lead our great nation into the 21st Century -- as the next President of the United States.
I do so humbly -- in the presence of the monuments of America's great presidents -- especially Abraham Lincoln -- the founder of the Republican Party -- whose deep commitment to equality and opportunity I share.
To all Americans, I optimistically say: tomorrow can be better than today.
To that cause -- I pledge my total dedication; in that cause, I ask my fellow Americans for their hearts, their hands, and their help."
