"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.
There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and -- they are stupid."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican), November 8, 1954
Renewing America's Promise…
THE DEMOCRATIC AGENDA
Democrats have a special commitment to the promise of America. We believe that every American, whatever their background or station in life, should have the chance to get a good education, to work at a good job with good wages, to raise and provide for a family, to live in safe surroundings, and to retire with dignity and security. We believe that quality and affordable health care is a basic right. We believe that each succeeding generation should have the opportunity, through hard work, service, and sacrifice, to enjoy a brighter future than the last.
The Democratic Party is committed to keeping our nation safe and expanding opportunity for every American. That commitment is reflected in an agenda that emphasizes strong economic growth, affordable college education, affordable health care for all Americans, retirement security, open, honest and accountable government, and securing our nation while protecting our civil rights and liberties.
We are in a critical moment that will reverberate for generations to come. To see us through these times, Democrats will turn our economy around with millions of new jobs, and free ourselves from our oil dependency and invest in renewable, alternative energies. As Democrats, we will restore our civil liberties and uphold the civil rights of all.
