Stern of SEIU posts at the blog: Let's Reclaim our Moral Values!

Democrats already have their moral values. All we need to do is assert and claim them. Thanks, Andy.

"Moral values." The Republicans want us to be afraid of those words. They want us to change the subject, to talk around the issue.

Let's not. Let's talk moral values—because we're the ones with something real to say. We're the ones registering voters, fighting for health care and protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Let's talk moral values—because we're the ones who practice them.

MyMoralValues.com is a project of PurpleOcean.org, SEIU's economic justice organization. We're collecting people's stories of their moral values, and the range is incredible—from born-again Christians who voted for Kerry to military officers with a deep sense of misgiving about our current conflict.

We believe that this conversation must continue. On November 26 (the biggest shopping day of the year), MyMoralValues.com will be running a New York Times advertisement featuring the most compelling submissions.

Tell the world how your moral values decided your vote this year, how they affected your involvement in the political process, and how we can build on them to create a strong and successful political platform.

In solidarity,

What Are Your Moral Values?

Are you tired of listening to politicians and media tell you what is moral and what is not? Last week, a Florida reverend proclaimed "Values voters have delivered for George Bush." How have we let one political party claim the moral high ground? Is wanting health care for all immoral? Is believing in the value of community and helping others immoral?

Sound off and tell America about your moral values. Your words could be featured in a New York Times advertisement. Just visit MyMoralValues.com
