Our mission: We believe first and foremost in a responsive, transparent government that works for The People. Because this ideal form of democracy is always in peril by powerful entities, it’s imperative for The People to understand the news and have context for it, so that they can make decisions that are best for their lives.
We believe in a government of and by the people, rather than of and by corporations and oligarchs.
“If by a ‘Liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a Liberal.”~J.F.K.
