Discursos de Springsteen y Kerry en Cleveland:
(COURTESY Backstreets.com)

As a songwriter, I've been writing about America for 30 years: who we are, what we stand for, what we fight for -- these ideas are what's at stake tomorrow. I believe our American government has drifted too far from American values: The human principles of economic justice, healing the sick, health care, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, a living wage so folks don't have to break their backs and then come home and not be able to make ends meet, an open American government that's unburdened by unnecessary secrecy, protection of our environment, sane and responsible foreign policy where we take our place amongst a community of nations, civil rights and the safeguarding of our precious democracy here at home. This is what we're fighting for tomorrow.

Now, nobody's got all of the answers to all of America's problems. And when John Kerry wins tomorrow [cheering], it's just the beginning of the work that we need to do ourselves to create a humane American society. I got involved in this election because I saw the opportunity to have somebody in the White House with a heart, that would honestly ask the hard questions, that would respect our most struggling citizens, and a spirit that would seek the solutions to bring us closer to fulfilling America's promise for everybody. I believe that Senator Kerry honors these ideals, and that he'll work for them. He's lived our history over the past 50 years, he has an informed and adult view of America and her people. And he's had the life experience and undertands that we as humans, we are not infallible, that we make mistakes. And as Senator Edwards said during the Democratic Convention, that struggle and heartbreak will always be with us, and that's why we need each other. That's why we need to be able to depend on and keep faith with one another through hard times and good times. That's why "One Nation Indivisible" and "United We Stand" can't be empty slogans, but need to remain guding principles of our public policy.

I was speaking to Senator Glenn the other night, and he said that politics is supposed to be the Personnel Department of the Constitution. It is supposed to be shining service. And that's why we need good, wise, and trustworthy servants to put our ideals in action. Senator Kerry, since he was a young man, has shown us by having the courage to face America's hard truths, both the good and the bad, that that's where we find a deeper patriotism, we find a more complete view of who we are, we find a more authentic experience as citizens, and that's where we find the power that is embedded only in truth to make our world a better and safer place for our kids to grow up in. These are the things that have brought me here tonight.

Paul Wellstone, the Minnesota senator, said, "The future is for the passionate." That's right. And those that are willing to fight and work hard for it. Well, the future is now. It's time to roll up your sleeves and let your passions flow in the service of a more just and equitable society. That's why I'm here to stand alongside Senator Kerry and to tell you that the coutry we carry in our hearts is waiting. So tomorrow, get Grandma, get Ma, get Pa, get 'em all out there and vote! We've had a sax player, I think it's time for a guitar player in the White House!"

Parte del dDiscurso de John Kerry con referencias a Springsteen:

Finally, but obviously not least importantly, I want to say thank you to that special fellow who has sung anthems across America for 30 years. He is a poet... [Brooocing from the crowd] You got it! [laughs]... He's a great poet, he sings from his heart, he writes from his heart, and he writes about real people and the struggles of life itself. We love him, we know him as the Boss: Bruce Springsteen, thank you so much for being here. I've been a fan of his for a long time, and I'll tell you what, I may be running for President of the United States, but we all know who the Boss really is. I gotta tell you, when George Bush heard that the Boss was going to be showing up with me, he thought they meant Dick Cheney! I also want you to know that as I came up here, Bruce gave me something that's about as special to me as anything I get. You may think I'm crazy for saying this, but he gave me his pick. He said, "Take it to the White House, this is gonna bring you good luck!" And I'll tell you, this pick is going to play in the White House. Here it is! The lucky pick!

Este fue el discurso de Springsteen en Madison, tras cantar The Promised Land:

As a songwriter, I've written about America for 30 years. I've tried to write about who we are, what we stand for, what we fight for. I believe that these essential ideals of American identity are what's at stake on November 2nd. The human prinicples of economic justice, just healing the sick, health care, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, a living wage so folks don't have to break their backs and not make ends meet, the protection of our environment, a sane and responsible foreign policy, civil rights and the protection and safeguarding of our precious democracy here at home.

"I believe that Senator Kerry honors these ideals. He has lived our history over the past 50 years, has an informed adult view of America and its people. He's had a life experience, and I think he understands that we as humans are not infallible. As Senator Edwards said during the Democratic convention, 'struggle and heartbreak will always be with us,' and that's why we need each other. That's why 'United We Stand,' that's why 'One Nation Indivisible' aren't just slogans, but they need to remain guiding principles of our public policy.

"And he's shown us starting as a young man that by facing America's hard truths, both the good and the bad, that that's where we find a deeper patriotism, that's where we find a more complete view of who we are, that's where we find a more authentic experience as citizens, and that's where we find the power that is embedded only in truth to make our world a better and a safer place.

Paul Wellstone, the great Minnesota senator, he said 'the future is for the passionate, and those that are willing to fight and work hard for it.' Well, the future is now, and it's time to let your passions loose. So, let's roll up our sleeves... that's why I'm here today to stand alongside Senator Kerry and to tell you that the country we carry in our hearts is waiting. And together we can move America together towards her deepest ideals. And besides, we had a sax player in the White House... we need a guitar player in the White House!
