Too often our political parties and elected officials have been unduly influenced by the extremes of the Far Right and the Far Left.  We'd like to change that.

We are Americans who believe our elected officials should be less concerned about the welfare of their political parties and more concerned about the welfare of their nation.  We should be Americans first and Democrats / Republicans second.

We are voters who believe our government can serve a valuable purpose in our lives.  Americans should be guaranteed every opportunity for success.  However, Americans should not be guaranteed success for every opportunity.

We are aware history has shown candidates of the major political parties often catering to the extremes of their respective parties during the primaries and then aligning their views more with moderates when approaching the general elections.  Unfortunately for moderates, this has left us with a choice of the "lesser of two evils".  We want to develop a greater presence during the primaries so that more moderates are elected.

We have less need for public masters and more need for public servants.  We are a well-educated, compassionate group of men and women of all ages, races, colors and creeds.  We are knowledgeable of today's events and are able to generate informed opinions.  We expect our elected officials to heed the voices of their constituents rather than the voices of special interests.

We have learned from our friends of the Far Right and the Far Left that we need to be as vocal and passionate about our views as they are of theirs.  For our views are no less reasoned than theirs.  Our goals, no less important.  Our beliefs, no less honorable.

We are moderates.  And we vote.
