Our Values

The Democratic Creed

1. We Believe.. All people are created equal, that this is America’s fundamental ideal.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. We Believe.. That the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity a reality for all.

5. 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.

6. We Believe.. That fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.
