Where We Stand

America has never been more divided in our lifetimes, and 2012 is shaping up to be another critical year.  Our group, which came togerther initially to support Howard Dean, then formed the core of Ned Lamont's support in 2006 and worked hard for national, state, and local candidates in more recent elections, has never defined itself beyond being "socially progressive, fiscally conservative."

But what does that mean?  How, as a group, should we evaluate office holders and candidates who want our support?  What do we stand for?

The conversation is still on-going, but the direction is clear.  We want an end to foreign wars, a return to the rule of law, a fairer financial and tax system, universal health care, a political system based on people not money, a clean environment, and a focus on rebuilding America.

The list below is a start.  We invite your comments.
