I Would Like Your Opinion On What You Feel Are Some Of John Kerry's Greatest Speeches Plz.... [View all]

JK is my hero & at the age of 14, I was so inspired by not only his run for President, but by the speeches he gave....

So my challenge to you is let me know of a particular speech or speeches that inspired you...

Right Now I am financially at rock bottom, & it would help me mentally and emotionally to be reminded of some of John Kerry's speeches relating to the issue of poverty in America...

I am about to be homeless at the age of 25, my stepmother died unexpectedly recently, I was living in a rental with her, after funeral expenses & because I am currently unemployed, I am going to lose everything, so plz...help me find speeches that will uplift me because I am so far down and almost out...

Much Love,
Corey A Baker
