Why we are Democrats

Here are ten reasons why we serve on the Shirley Democratic Town Committee. We work for:

1. Economic prosperity that is fair to all
2. Stopping the war in Iraq but not the war on terrorism
3. The opportunity for all children to learn
4. Affordable health care for everyone
5. Stopping global warming and ensuring clean air and water
6. Equal justice under the law
7. A safety net that guarantees dignity for all Americans
8. Fair taxation and responsible spending
9. Restoration of our civil liberties
10. Accountability of government, corporations, and individuals

Here are some of the many Democratic accomplishments:
