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 how you pray, who you love, where you live,
where your ancestors come from, or how much money you have.
Democrats believe
that this is America’s fundamental founding principle.
Our policy positions and our views on political issues are rooted in this core belief.
Democrats believe
that America is a constitutional democratic republic of, by, and for, the people,
governed 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 it should serve the best interests of working-class families,
not just those of the well-to do and well-connected,
Democrats believe
that advocating for these principles, and electing candidates who support 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 really only exists when there are
two thriving political parties.
