Reply #80: Democratic values

[journalist3072]

Here are some of the issues that I want to believe are Democratic values:

1. We stand for equality and civil rights. We understand that unfortunately, the playing field has not yet been leveled, so we stand for protecting affirmative action.

2. We stand for quality public education. We support the teachers who touch our children's lives.

3. We stand for keeping faith with the American people, realizing that those in public service must always be honest with the people they serve. We believe in course correction, and always being a part of the reality-based community.

4. We stand for healthcare for all Americans.

5. We believe that we are not in this world alone, and so it is important to build alliances and forge partnerships with other nations.

OK--I know there is more I can write, but my brain is fried!
