John F. Kerry
We are not interested in a proxy war. Our objective is to change Russia's behavior.

Our military is overextended. Nine out of 10 active-duty Army divisions are either in Iraq, going to Iraq or have come back from Iraq. One way or the other, they're wrapped up in it.
John F. Kerry
What we need to do is raise the minimum wage. We also need to hold onto equal pay. Women work for 76 cents on the dollar for the same work that men do. That's not right in America.
John F. Kerry
As President, I will not be the last to know what is going on in my command.
John F. Kerry
The problems of health care can be solved if we stop giving tax cuts to those who have the most, and start making health care affordable for those working harder and harder for too little.
John F. Kerry
What we do right now, today, matters.
John F. Kerry
A fundamental premise of politics is we can make this work if people just never figure it out.
John F. Kerry
