As Democrats we strongly believe in liberty, equality, the common good and justice for all.  We believe that government can be a positive force and should invest in the common good, creating opportunity for all.  At the core of these beliefs, is the ability to have empathy, the ability to care about others.  History has shown that Democrats understand this.  Just consider the long list of Democratic initiatives/policies that have bettered the lives of so many Americans.  This list includes the following:

We should be proud of the work Democrats have done through the years.  It is proof that the Democratic Party is the party of the people.  As members of the Federation of Democratic Women of Valencia County, we would like to bring attention to and honor this work through community engagement and support of worthwhile projects.  We will be demonstrating our Democratic Values by serving family and community.
