"Why I Am A Democrat"
 |
"...the two political parties in our history have always been
divided, as Emerson said, into the party of hope and the party of memory."
-- President John F. Kennedy
|
"There is not a single instance in modern times in which
civil rights have been expanded, or working families protected, or the
integrity of our government defended that the Democratic Party didn't lead the way.
As Democrats, calling America to its best is our heritage and our duty to the future.
"
-- City Attorney Dennis Herrera

"Growing up in a working class household in New Jersey, it was always
clear to me that the Democratic Party is the Party of the little person,
working families, people of color and those who are discriminated against.
In San Francisco, our challenge as Democrats is to break new ground
making our community a just and prosperous place for all citizens."
-- San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano

"The Democratic party ...
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
|
 |
 |
"As the modern champion of the rights of minorities, women, and working
families, the Democratic party opened the door to me."
-- Governor Ann Richards
