Political Statement.
15 years ago
Being taught to avoid talking about Politics and Religion has led to a lack of understanding of Politics and Religion. What we should have been taught was how to have a civil conversation about a difficult topic.
I wish to Declare that I am a Democrat. I have recently moved, and in my new county, there is a fairly well organized group calling themselves the Washington County Democratic Party. http://www.washcodems.org/ The Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Democratic Party of Washington County is to elect good Democrats to public office. We also encourage Democrats to run for public office and to serve on local boards and commissions. Once they are elected, we also lobby our representatives concerning progressive legislation and principals.
The Democratic Vision:
o Honest Leadership and Open Government
o Real Security
o Energy Independence
o Economic Prosperity and Educational Excellence
o A Healthcare System that Works for Everyone
o Retirement Security
I also declare that I think that Anyone who says that (either party) hates America is an out and out Liar. Both Democrats and Republicans Love America, but have vastly different ideas on how to express that love. I am sure some of you will ban me for saying this, but it's what I believe.
