Birch Bayh Thinking Quotations

I think we have a number of young people - like yourself - who want to make a difference. Im not sure the numbers are as large because I think the burden of getting elected to public office at the national level has become astronomically expensive.

Certainly I think the election of John Kennedy and all he stood for was one that really was an inspiration.

You know I don't think we need the Republicans to steal family values from us.

I think that it's important if you run for President that you have to make those important decisions. And your father, if he can help, probably, he helps just by being your father without getting intimately involved.

I think that's most unfortunate about our Democratic system, that you're confining it to people who are either very wealthy in their own right or have capacity to gain access to large amounts of money.
