Government should protect the LIFE and LIBERTY of all citizens and provide for a JUST social order.

Government should PROTECT ITS CITIZENS from domestic and foreign danger.

We support a STRONG MILITARY, homeland security, and foreign aid budgets that provide for a secure America - but we oppose reckless war-making that kills our heroic soldiers, depletes our national coffers, and cripples our relations with other countries.

Government policy should support JOB CREATION and the EMPLOYMENT of American workers.

American citizens have a right to BASIC HEALTH CARE.

All citizens deserve a LIVING WAGE that provides a comfortable living.

EDUCATION
is a fundamental right, the cornerstone of our Democracy, and the foundation for a secure social, economic, and political future.

Our PUBLIC LANDS are part of our public trust and should not be sold, but protected for future generations to enjoy.

Water, soil, and air are crucial to our survival. It is important that a balance be maintained so that future generations will have access to CLEAN WATER, SOIL, AND AIR.

The current 15+ trillion dollar NATIONAL DEBT - approximately $45,000, and growing, for every man, woman, and child in America - threatens to bankrupt our country. We believe in sound fiscal management that doesn't threaten our children's future.

The current private method of FINANCING ELECTION CAMPAIGNS is a national scandal. In North Carolina (2004) ninety percent (90%) of campaign contributions were contributed by one percent (1%) of the population. For the sake of continued democracy, we must support a system of public financing for our state and national elections.

“I am a Christian and a Democrat, that's all.”

1) You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own.

2) You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time.

3) You have to believe...everything Rush Limbaugh says.

4) You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out.

5) You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher.



"They [Republicans] blame the low income women for ruining the country because they are staying home with their children and not going out to work. They blame the middle income women for ruining the country because they go out to work and do not stay home to take care of their children."
