PROMOTING THE REALIZATION OF THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT

  • 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;
  • Without Regard to Race, Color, Religion, Sex, National Origin or other Personal Characteristics;
  • Dismissing “Liberal/Conservative” & “Right/Left” and other shallow tribalistic labels in favor of meaningful dialog on each issue that affects our society;
  • And promoting an environment of freedom and opportunity that maximizes the full expression of each individual Human Spirit.
