DEMOCRATS' BELIEFS
Democrats are people you see in your community: working, praying, shopping, playing. We come from all walks of life, but share
beliefs and values that help shape a strong state and nation where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We believe:
* In equal opportunity for all citizens
* In rewarding honest, hard work with a living wage and in a tax system that is fair
* In family values that are more than a political slogan
* In quality education that gives all citizens an opportunity to reach their potential
* In freedom from government interference in our private lives and personal decisions
* That individual strengths in our diverse population are a benefit
* In security in our homes and safety on our streets. Criminals should face swift and certain punishment
* In separation of Church and State to preserve the freedom to pursue our beliefs
* In a strong United States - morally, economically and militarily
* In common-sense reforms that give us cleaner and safer air and water
