The Democrat Vision
Democrats have been criticized by the Republicans for not having
a clear vision of what their party stands for. That's simply not true. The
Democrat vision is the same one that formed our great nation. It is the same
vision that inspired our Declaration of Independence and gave our early
colonists the will to fight to make that vision a reality, for themselves and
for all who would come after them. That vision, the Democrat vision, can be
summed up in one word. Freedom!
Freedom is what underlies every policy, every platform, every piece of
legislation supported by those who have had the Democrat vision for the last 227
years. It is that promise of Freedom that gives hope for the future and has been
the spirit that forged thirteen small colonies into this great American nation.
It is the spirit that has united people who have come here from every corner of
the earth to become one under its protective banner. It is what makes us all,
regardless of the roots of our origins, Americans.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that America and her people will be free
from fear. We will remain strong and fear no one because we will fight to defend
our freedom whenever it is threatened. We will be loyal to our allies and not
use our strength to threaten the people of other nations. We will lead by
example by respecting the cultures and customs that may differ from ours.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will be free from the
degradation of poverty. We will make sure that every American has the freedom to
achieve his or her full potential by providing the same opportunities for each
to fulfill their dream.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will be free from
unnecessary illness and threats to their health by seeing that every citizen has
the right to accessible health care and a clean, protected environment to pass
on to our children.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will be free to make their
own decisions regarding their bodies, their sexual orientation and what, if any,
religion they practice without interference from government.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will be free to travel our
great nation and admire her unspoiled beauty in areas protecting her natural
wilderness from selfish pillage.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will be free from
unnecessary debt that will burden our children and grandchildren by demanding
that those we elect to represent us will balance the national budget and spend
our tax dollars responsibly. We will pay our fair share and expect that every
American will do the same without the burden being borne by any one group.
The Democrat vision of Freedom means that Americans will always have those
freedoms that were guaranteed to us in our Bill of Rights and will be free from
any legislation that would attempt to curb any of those freedoms.
The Democrat vision is very clear. It is the vision of America.
