Stokes County Democrats believe:

• In the freedoms and protections in our U.S. Constitution, and the rule of law.

• In defending free speech, due process, and the right to freely exercise religion (or no religion) as guaranteed in Bill of Rights and the first, fifth and fourteenth Amendments.

• In fair and equal opportunities for all to participate in the quest for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

• In the power of the people to sustain a democratic society through free and fair elections.

We also believe that:

• All politicians have a moral and ethical obligation to be truthful and transparent, and should not allow conflicts of interest to affect their duties as public servants.

• All people have the right to healthy food, earn a living wage, and have access to affordable housing and healthcare.

• All children have the right to a quality education in public schools with a safe and nurturing environment.

• Helping working class families is more important than giving tax breaks to billionaires and that people are more important than corporate profits.
