This is a statement by Dean Alfange founder of the liberal party of New York.
"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon- if I can. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I perfer the challenges of life in the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence of mly dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.
All this is what it means to be and American."
