With barely 700 days left in the 20th century  this is not a time to rest It is a time to build  to build the America within reach: an America where everybody has a chance to get ahead with hard work  where every citizen can live in a safe community  where families are strong  schools are good and all young people can go to college  an America where scientists find cures for diseases from diabetes to Alzheimer's to AIDS  an America where every child can stretch a hand across a keyboard and reach every book ever written  every painting ever painted  every symphony ever composed  where government provides opportunity and citizens honor the responsibility to give something back to their communities  an America which leads the world to new heights of peace and prosperity
