Liberal Principles

Here is my list of the principles we liberals believe in:

Ethics as the bedrock of our worldview, founded on truth, honesty and love for one another.

Peace with our neighbors and among all nations, beginning with peace within ourselves.

Equality of all people at all times.

Freedom to be, love, do, say and believe as we will, and from preventable wrong and harm.

Community of others whose well-being we foster, particularly those in greatest need.

Opportunity to pursue our dreams.

Meeting Human Needs with compassion, ingenuity and resolve.

Democracy as the foundation of any just political system.  

Empathy for our fellows as the wellspring of the causes we champion.   

Progress or faith in the improvement of the human condition if we work for it in good will.  

Science as a means to discover and employ fact and reason to better our world.

Justice under the law and as the framework for fairness in society.

Security of our persons, rights and dignity, individually and as a nation.

Practicality in the ways we pursue our goals and implement our policies.  

Diversity of people celebrated within the  

Unity of the human family.

Civil Rights enshrined and protected.

Service as the means to realize these principles in our society and world.

Love as the source of all the good we do and are.
