1. “Despite the rhetoric, the Democratic Party has ALWAYS been and still is for working families, honest values and fair opportunity, the freedom of speech and worship with equal justice and opportunity.”
  2. “I decided to be a Democrat starting in the presidential elections of 1960 when John F. Kennedy excited me with a promise to get the country moving again. I think he gave people a sense that they could make a difference.” -President Bill Clinton
  3. “As the modern champion of the rights of minorities, women, and working families, the Democratic party opened the door to me.” -Governor Ann Richards
  4. The Democratic party, at its best, is the party of inclusion and expansion…it is the party that led the drive after the great depression for social security of seniors, for jobs for common people, for mass-based education, for civil rights bills of the sixties.” -Reverend Jesse Jackson
  5. “If left alone, Democratic values will fade away. Democratic values, like freedom itself, is a valuable commodity that must be protected and even fought for. Democratic values must never be taken for granted.”
