Values Question

[velvetpage]

Most of you on my friends list are liberals in terms of your social and political philosophies. It has been said that the Left in the U.S. does a very bad job of articulating exactly what it is they hold as their moral values - that the idea of morals has been co-opted by the right, and leftists are seen as having none.

So, Liberals of my friends list - what are your values? What do you believe in, passionately, that sets you apart from people further right, especially the Religious Right? Comment here in sound-bite style phrases, and then those of you in the States could print out the answers and send them to your local democratic candidates.

I grappled with this a while ago and I have two posts which may be pertinent:

• My Pro-Life Agenda (http://dagoski.livejournal.com/248383.html).


• A preachy rant about values and morals (http://dagoski.livejournal.com/114329.html)

My hands were cracked from a bad eczema flare up so there are typos aplenty. I apologize for that.

I was familiar with the first, but not the second. Thanks.

As for typos - most of my writing these days is done one-handed while nursing my baby, and i rarely catch typos before they go out. No worries.
