The vision for a new Democratic Party. A laser focus on ending corruption. Rooting out cronies at every level of government, with real consequences for everyone engaged in it. Staunch, unflinching support for our allies. New multilateral alliances and free trade agreements built for the 21st century. Tolerance, empathy, and genuine care for the poorest among us. Radically rethinking entitlements with a focus on access and personal control over how people use their benefits. Education as a true priority: massive investment in public schools, new models of teaching, and real flexibility and support for parents and the next generation. Serious deficit reduction. Rethinking the tax code and entitlement programs with a clear mandate to pay down debt before we reach the fiscal cliff. Freedom across the board. Embracing patriotism, owning the flag, defending every amendment, and building institutions that are independent and resistant to executive overreach. The return of Congress. Decentralizing power, restoring individual members as legislators, and reorienting the presidency toward shepherding legislative outcomes rather than accumulating executive authority. Dynamism and innovation: making America the best country in the world to immigrate to and start a business in, with serious supply-side reform on housing and beyond. The party becomes one of dynamism, tolerance, freedom, and responsibility. One focused on building a better future for our kids. It's within our hands to make it so.
