The Democratic Creed
(A work in progress . . . )
• We believe all people are created equal, that this is America’s fundamental ideal.
• We believe that America is a democracy, by and for the people: ruled by the Constitution and its interpretations, protected by the Bill of Rights, and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.
• We believe these founding documents demand Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity for all Americans, in full and equal measure . . . regardless of who you are, what you believe, or where you live. • We believe that the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity a reality for all.
• We believe that the Purpose of government is to protect our nation, defend our democracy, and to endlessly promote the welfare of each and every one of us.
• We believe that fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.
