Why we are Democrats

We believe that America ought to be a nation of fairness and equality for everyone, and that we ought to be a nation where everyone feels comfortable living, working, and raising a family. Democrats have a long and strong record of promoting fairness and equality for all Americans, regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.

We believe that every worker ought to get a fair shake in our economy, and that we ought to provide safety nets for the most vulnerable members of our society. Democrats have a long and strong record of defending organized labor and supporting government programs to help society’s most vulnerable.

We believe that every American ought to be able to breath clean air, eat safe food, and drink healthy water. Democrats have a long and strong record of protecting our environment and making sure the true costs of our actions are accounted for.

We believe that every American who wants a job ought to have one, that government policies can grow our economy in a way that benefits everyone, and that the government can effectively fix harmful skews in the market. Democrats have a long and strong record of strenthening our economy in a way that benefits everyone.

We believe that the government ought to protect a woman’s right to choose and respect reproductive freedom. Democrats have a long and strong record of supporting a woman’s right to choose and other important women’s health issues.

We believe that the government ought to ensure the safety and security of its citizens through responsible, long-term strategies. Democrats have a long and strong record of strengthening our security by taking guns off the streets, hiring new police officers, and promoting our national interests.

We believe that the rest of the world does matter, and that we ought to work hard to promote a positive image of Americans abroad. Democrats have a long and strong record of reaching out to the rest of the world and showing that we not only welcome our membership in the international community, but that we can lead it responsibly.

It is for these beliefs that we are proud to call ourselves College Democrats.
