Hello. applause noise applause applause ladies and gentlemen, of the convention. applause ladies and gentlemen of the convention. Ladies and gentlemen of the convention, my name is gerald dean ferraro. applause i stand before you to proclaim tonight america is a land where dreams can come true for all of us. As i stand before the American People, and think of the honor this Great Convention has bestowed upon me, i recall the words of dr.
