Democrats are guided by a core belief:

“All persons are created equal and must have equal protection under the law.“

This means Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity
for all Americans, in full and equal measure

regardless of who you are, what you believe, where you live, or your family ancestry.

Democrats believe

that this is America’s fundamental founding principle.

Our policy positions and our stands on political issues are rooted in this core belief.

Democrats believe

that America is a constitutional democratic republic

of, by, and for, the people,

ruled by the Constitution and its interpretations,

protected by the Bill of Rights,

and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.

Democrats believe

The purpose of government is

clearly spelled out in the preamble to the Constitution:

establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,

promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

Democrats believe

Government should NOT be a for-profit enterprise

and should serve the best interests of working families, not just for the

well-to do and well-connected.

Democrats believe that advocating for these principles is the purpose of our political party.

Democrats in eastern Idaho know that we must fight

against radical right efforts to misinform the public

about who we are and what we believe.

Real Democracy only exists when there are
two thriving political parties.
