What it means to be a Democrat… Our 10 Core Values and Principles

September 2nd, 2010 by Zev Mo Leave a reply »


I get this question all the time.  Unfortunately, Democrats aren’t very good at reducing ideas into easily digestible sound-bites.

I’ll take each item in the list and expand on it in future posts, but I wanted to give what I thought were our 10 core values and principles.

Let me know what you think…

RESPONSE:

The Democratic party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, shares the same ideal as our nation’s motto:

E pluribus unum- “Out of many, one.”

We stand for:

  • Liberty
  • Justice
  • Equality for all
  • Community
  • Strong Middle Class Jobs
  • Defense of our shores
  • Modern Infrastructure
  • Economic Stability and Prosperity
  • Energy Independence
  • Environmental Protection

UNCOVERS:

We are a nation of WE, not a nation of ME.
