TOM PEREZ, DNC CHAIRMAN: I mean you look at, you know, FDR dreamed of an America where seniors could retire with dignity and broaden Social Security. LBJ -- you know, JFK said we're going to put a man on the moon, and we did that. You look at, Barack Obama said we're -- we're going to pass the Affordable Care Act, the most important addition to our social compact. And I worked for a guy named Ted Kennedy, and I was proud to do that. And what he taught me is that idealism and pragmatism are never mutually exclusive. And when we're fighting for people's health care, when we're fighting to protect people with pre-existing conditions, I don't know -- I don't know what label you put on that. I call that helping people everywhere. And that's what we're about is making sure -- I want to be part of the accomplishments wing of the Democratic Party. I want to move the ball forward for the American people.</s>BERMAN: Right. Mr. Chairman, Tom Perez, thank you for being here.
