What does the Democratic Party consider it's values?
We should define that list in it's most simplest terms... and then expound on the ideas... and then provide examples that could be used (for ads and pamphlets, etc.) Below is a starting point. Perhaps some of you could do some online research and help flesh this out?
-----
Truth / Honesty Compassion / Love Responsibility / Support & Protection Freedom / Liberty Reverence for Life Respect for Diversity Fairness Self-Respect Preservation of Nature Tolerance Generosity Humility Social Harmony Honor / Integrity Devotion Respect for Elders
Ethics - universal global ethics. Ethics must be made personal, tangible, and experiential, instead of being determined by scientific logic, clerical advice, or governmental policy.
Show that Democrats are willing to put their values into practice across a broad range of issues.
Democratic campaigns should be committed to the principles of honesty, fairness, respect for the opponent, responsibility, and compassion. The purpose is to improve the quality of the dialogue during the campaign season. It challenges the notion that negative campaigns are necessary to win. The evidence is strong that this is not the case and, in fact, that positive campaigns and a sense of ethics are necessary for effective governance.
