We envision a sympathetic government representative of the diversity of its citizens which addresses human need. We seek a government that is open and responsive, and free of corruption from special interests and corporate greed.It is our purpose, through grassroots efforts, to create the political foundation that is required to enact laws that will allow us to structure and achieve this vision. It is our mission to create the network necessary to identify, foster, and elect candidates so that we may have a voice in creating the political agenda and passing laws at all levels of government.We will seek to create an inclusive political environment, reaching out to all people, by presenting our mainstream values.
