The Facts about Health Care Reform...
What it means to be a Democrat ...
Democrats stand for Hope, Equal Opportunity, and Fair Play. These are the values
Texans share in our personal lives and the values we expect to define our economic
and social policies. Texas Democrats are building a better state and a stronger
nation where those who work hard and play by the rules can achieve their American
dream.
We believe ...
· In equal opportunity for all citizens.
· In rewarding, honest, hard work with a living wage in a tax system that is fair.
· In family values that are more than a political slogan.
· In quality education that gives all citizens the opportunity to reach their potential.
· In freedom from government interference in our private lives and personal decisions.
· In the benefits of individual strengths in our diverse population.
· 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 support of laws that protect our environment, including common-sense
reforms that give us cleaner and safer air and water.
To preserve these values and to ensure that our state continues to provide
economic opportunity to all Texans, we must be able to conduct effective election
campaigns.
Renewing America's Promise
The Democratic Agenda
We come together at a defining moment in the history of our nation –- the nation that led the 20th century, built a thriving middle class, defeated fascism and communism, and provided bountiful opportunity to many. We Democrats have a special commitment to this promise of America. We believe that every American, whatever their background or station in life, should have the chance to get a good education, to work at a good job with good wages, to raise and provide for a family, to live in safe surroundings, and to retire with dignity and security. We believe that quality and affordable health care is a basic right. We believe that each succeeding generation should have the opportunity, through hard work, service and sacrifice, to enjoy a brighter future than the last.
But today, we are at a crossroads. As we meet, we are in the sixth year of a two-front war. Our economy is struggling. Our planet is in peril.
A land of historic resourcefulness has lost its patience with elected officials who have failed to lead. It is time for a change.
We can do better.
