About Us

PREAMBLE
We, the Democrats of Brecksville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, united in common purpose, hereby rededicate ourselves to the principles which have historically sustained our party. Recognizing that the vitality of the nations political institutions has been the foundation of its enduring strength, we acknowledge that a political party which wishes to lead must listen to those it would lead, a party which asks for the peoples trust must prove that it trust the people and a party which hopes to call forth the best the nation can achieve must embody the best of the nations heritage and traditions.

The founder of the Democratic Party, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, set forth the reasons for the creation of this country and expresses the basic tenets of democratic government:

• That all persons are created equal.
• That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights
• That among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
• That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

What we seek for our nation, we hope for all people: individual freedom in the framework of a just society, political freedom in the framework of meaningful participation by all citizens. Bound by the United States Constitution and the Constitutions and By-laws of the National, Cuyahoga and Ohio Democratic parties, aware that a party must be responsive to he worthy of responsibility, we pledge ourselves to be open, to honestly endeavor and to pursue the conduct of public affair in a manner worthy of a society of free people.
