"A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this ..." — Barbara Jordan

We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.

Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.

If we promise as public officials, we must deliver. If we as public officials propose, we must produce.

We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community.
