"Your cause is our own"

[sweetnpetite]

In offering this vision, we affirm our faith in the greatness of America. We recommit to the ideal of a people united in helping one another, an ideal as old as the faiths we follow and as great as the country we love. To those who are threatened, we pledge protection; to those who are victims, we promise justice; to those who are hopeless, we offer hope. And to all Americans who seek a better future for themselves, for their loved ones, and for our country, we say: your cause is our own.

- From the Preamble to the 2004 Democratic Platform

Something from the other side:

“‘Kerry will have to expend an awful lot of time and money to convince people that he’s not the classic Massachusetts liberal,’ said Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia political analyst. ‘And that’s going to be tough, because mainly he is.’” (Jennifer Peter, “Presidential Contender Confronts ‘Massachusetts Liberal’ Label,” The Associated Press, 12/21/02)

found the platform for 2000:

We meet at a remarkable time in the life of our country. Our powerful economy gives America a unique chance to confront persistent challenges. Our country, after an era of drift, must now set itself to important tasks and higher goals. The Republican Party has the vision and leadership to address these issues. Our platform is uplifting and visionary. It reflects the views of countless Americans all across this country who believe in prosperity with a purpose — who believe in Renewing America’s Purpose. Together. This platform makes clear that we are the party of ideas. We are the party that follows its bold words with bold deeds. Since the election of 1860, the Republican Party has had a special calling — to advance the founding principles of freedom and limited government and the dignity and worth of every individual. These principles form the foundation of both an agenda for America in the year 2000 and this platform for our party. They point us toward reforms in government, a restoration of timeless values, and a renewal of our national purpose.
