DEMOCRATS BELIEVE
In quality health care for all Texans, especially our children
In equality for all citizens.
In a fair and realistic, but enforced, immigration policy.
In clean air and water, and protecting our environment.
In a living wage for honest, hard work.
In the importance of collective bargaining and organization and labor unions.
In freedom from governmental interference in our private lives and personal decisions.
In preserving fundamental constitutional rights, including the right to privacy, the right to worship as we see fit, and the separation of Church and State.
In alleviating the blight of poverty.
In fairness in our tax system.
In security for our homes, neighborhoods, ports, and nation.
In honoring our veterans and treating them fairly on their return, with quality medical care and other veterans benefits.
In keeping jobs in this country, rather than sending them abroad.
In honest, uncorrupt government, where every vote counts and every vote is counted.
