What is the Democratic Party all about?
How does it affect my life?
Why should I vote Democratic?
Democrats are bound together by deep principles which are as embedded in our core set of values as the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.
We believe that in this great and prosperous country, certain truths are as self-evident as those put forth over two hundred years ago.
These are our deep principles and beliefs.
• We believe in an individual’s right to live the life he or she chooses, so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
• We believe that the weak deserve to be protected from the strong.
• We believe that it is the right of all Americans to be free from the prejudice of others.
• We believe that strong families create better citizens.
• We believe that strong public schools make for a better society.
• We believe that affordable health care, housing and transportation is a public trust.
• We believe that a wider range of job opportunities allows for a higher and more consistent quality of life.
• We believe that every American deserves equal opportunities to contribute to our society.
• We believe that it is important to offer a helping hand, not a handout.
• We believe that we are protectors of this land for the sake of future generations.
