What Democrats Believe America was founded on the concept that free people with diverse beliefs can govern themselves in peace, advance individual freedoms, safeguard themselves, forge powerful alliances, and command world respect. Democrats believe that government plays a central role in upholding those precepts. We believe government leaders have the responsibility to support public policy issues which protect the well-being and common good of all citizens, not just the very wealthy and large corporations. Democrats hold that diversity in America is a source of strength. Democrats will always protect every American's freedom to believe and worship as he or she chooses. For a democracy to survive, its citizens cannot let someone else determine their collective future. Voting is just part of the equation in a working and viable democracy. Democrats believe that citizens are responsible for developing an informed political voice on critical issues and community concerns. This enables our elected leadership to respond and take political action. Being part of a county political party is the most effective way to bring power to your individual voice. |
