-- 1. GRASSROOTS
DEMOCRACY
Every human being deserves a say in the
decisions that affect their lives and not be subject to the will of
another. Therefore, we will work to increase public participation at
every level of government and to ensure that our public
representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them.
We will also work to create new types of political organizations
which expand the process of participatory democracy by directly
including citizens in the decision-making process."
