Help Us Build Our Platform

The current preamble to the Arizona Democratic Party platform states:

The United States of America is unique among nations, born not of a place, nor of a single race, nationality, or religion, but of an idea: freedom, equality, and opportunity for all people. The Arizona Democratic Party remains faithful to that concept. We take pride in our Democratic heritage as the party of patriotic values, the party of inclusiveness, the party of diversity, the party of compassion, the party of quality education, the party of economic opportunities, the party of social justice, the party of religious tolerance and the party of responsible leadership.

As we approach the 2008 election year, the Arizona Democratic Party is seeking to create a new, even more powerful platform that best represents who we are as Democrats in Arizona during this critical time in our state and country’s history. To that end, we believe it is important to go beyond the current document and we would appreciate your help in achieving this critical goal. Over the coming months, we will be asking a series of questions to which you can e-mail your comments for consideration by the Platform Committee. All e-mails must include your name and address for consideration. Please check this space frequently, as we plan to change the question regularly and value your input. Thank you for your thoughts and your activism.
