If I may be partisan in this sense. this Democratic Party of ours in its modern expression was built on a central principle. equal opportunity. building on the bedrock insight that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution have. that everybody is created equal. and that these are inalienable rights that we have. incidentally not given to us by the founders of the country or by Congress or any other group but given to us by our Creator. The Democratic Party in the modern history of this country has focused on making this ideal of equal opportunity real. At our best we have been the party of upward mobility. we have been the party that welcomed people to this country. immigrants to this country. We have stood for giving everybody a fair chance to go up. Getting a decent education was at the heart of that.
