Our Values
The Rabun County Democrats believe in the value of the individual and that government, while protecting life, liberty, and the property of individuals, must also be responsive to their collective needs and wills. We encourage full, timely and equal opportunity for all and promote the election of candidates for local, state, and national offices who will serve with competence, common sense, and compassion.
We welcome a diversity of individuals and groups in the belief that such diversity will strengthen our Party. We believe in the wisdom and efficacy of the will of the majority.
While pledging ourselves to the honest and open conduct of public affairs, we will, through the vehicles of periodic public meetings and frequent use of various forms of medica, encourage meaningful participation of all citizens within the framework of the United States Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia.
Our Creed
We Believe All people are created equal, that this is America’s fundamental ideal.
We Believe That America is a democracy, by and for the people: ruled by the Constitution and its interpretations, protected by the Bill of Rights, and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.
We Believe These founding documents demand Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity for all Americans, in full and equal measure — regardless of who you are, what you believe or where you live.
We Believe That the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity a reality for all.
We Believe That the Purpose of government is to protect our nation, defend our democracy, and to endlessly promote the welfare of each and every one of us.
We Believe That fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
--Thomas Jefferson
