What It Means to Be a Democrat

Democrats come from all areas of the country, all backgrounds, and all walks of life, but we share beliefs and values that help shape a strong state and nation.

We believe in:

• Equal opportunity for all.
• Rewarding honest, hard work with a living wage and a fair tax system.
• Family values that are more than a political slogan.
• Quality education that gives all children an opportunity to reach their potential.
• Freedom from government interference in our private lives.
• Fairness and equality for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
• Security in our homes, safety in our streets, and a strong national defense.
• Strengthening our economy in ways that benefit everyone, not just the wealthiest among us.
• Supporting government programs that help society's most vulnerable.
• Separation of Church and State to preserve the freedom to pursue our beliefs.
• Protecting our environment.
• A voting system that is fair for every American and ensures that every vote counts.
• A government that is respected at home and abroad.
• A strong United States -- morally, economically, and militarily.

Democrats believe in government that works!

"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans... unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." -- KARL ROVE, George Bush's long-time political guru and White House advisor.
