What is the Clark County Democratic Party?

Sun, 27 Mar 2005 01:15:02 -0500

By Dan Ogden

The Clark County Democratic Party has a long tradition of believing that government at all levels has a positive role to play in society. To that end the Democratic Party has always championed:

the Bill of Rights, especially the First Amendment
universal, free public education
the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively
the right of all persons to health care and reproductive choice
the right of all persons to have secure old age through a combination
of Social Security and pension plans
multiple-use management balanced with environmental protection of our
natural resources
a strong national defense
an effective and fair justice and law-enforcement system that
ensures equal treatment of all persons under the law
a fair and equitable tax system based primarily on ability to pay
a balanced budget
a sound money system
the effective provision of basic local public services such as electricity, power, fire
protection and policing
regulation of selected areas of the economy including:
- protection of bank depositors
- protection of investors and employees from fraudulent management practices
- prevention of monopoly and unfair trade practices
- promotion of agriculture, commerce and industry

We especially strive to protect and help those who need assistance in living and those who are too weak or small to speak for themselves. We embrace the diversity of our nation and support efforts to end racial discrimination, hate, and prejudice. We continue working to provide a chance for all citizens to seek the American dream of owning a home or a small business.

To accomplish these goals, we recruit candidates for public office, support them in their campaigns, provide opportunities for public discussion and debate on current issues, and encourage all citizens to register and vote.

CCDCC Resolution in Support of Social Security

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 19:17:35 -0500

Resolution on Social Security as adopted by Clark County Democratic Party Central Committee.

Date: February 14, 2005.

1) We hereby resolve not to endorse, work for or support financially any Democratic candidate who expresses support, advocates or votes for any form of privatization, or other language meaning the same thing as privatization, of the Social Security Program.

2) We hereby resolve that the Secretary to the Committee communicate with Senators Murray and Cantwell and Representative Baird, the strong desire of this Committee, that they make a strong written appeal to the Congressional Democratic leadership that Congressional Democrats take a united stand energetically opposing privatization of the Social Security System.

3) We hereby resolve that the Secretary of the Committee further communicates to Senators Murray and Cantwell and Representative Baird, the necessity for such a united stand so as to deprive Congressional Republicans of any political benefit afforded by the appearance of bipartisanship in relation to changes, of the character described above, to the Social Security Program.

4) We hereby resolve that the Secretary of the Committee communicates with all the other Central Committees in the State of Washington and the Chairmen or Chairwomen of the Democratic Parties in all the other forty-nine states to inform them of our resolutions relating to Social Security passed today by this Committee.
