We support the middle class and poor of American society with government programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

We oppose large increases in defense spending because it takes away from programs like public schools, child care, and assistance for America’s cities.

We support taxpayer funded scholarships called vouchers to allow poor students to transfer to private schools in order to get a better education.

We are suspicious of business and feel that the government must make more laws about labor relations, pollution, and corporate greed.

We tend to be more willing to use American forces overseas. To make the military stronger, we tend to support more spending on troops and weapons.

We should reduce America’s need for oil by investing in alternative energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal sources
