"PREAMBLE
We, the Democrats of the United States of America, united in common purpose, hereby rededicate
ourselves to the principles which have historically sustained our Party. Recognizing that the vitality of the
Nation's political institutions has been the foundation of its enduring strength, we acknowledge that a
political party which wishes to lead must listen to those it would lead, a party which asks for the people's
trust must prove that it trusts the people and a party which hopes to call forth the best the Nation can
achieve must embody the best of the Nation's heritage and traditions.
What we seek for our Nation, we hope for all people: individual freedom in the framework of a just
society, political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all citizens. Bound by the United
States Constitution, aware that a party must be responsive to be worthy of responsibility, we pledge
ourselves to open, honest endeavor and to the conduct of public affairs in a manner worthy of a society of
free people.
Under God, and for these ends and upon these principles, we do establish and adopt this Charter of
the Democratic Party of the United States of America."

It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
