Democrats believe in reigniting the American dream by removing barriers to success and building ladders of opportunity for all, so everyone can succeed.

The American dream is about freedom.

With Americans worried about losing their jobs, their savings, their homes and their chance at the American Dream, the New Direction Congress will work in a bipartisan way to lift our economy and help America's middle class.

Success is the American Dream. And that success is not something to be ashamed of, or to demonize.

The American Dream I believe in is one that provides anyone willing to work hard enough with the opportunity to succeed.

I believe in the American Dream because I have lived the American Dream.
