| Stewardship:
The Tennessee Democrats’ Creed |
We Democrats believe that we exist not merely as individual “owners”
of those things we possess, but also as stewards on behalf of those
in need and those who will follow us. Therefore:
We will be faithful stewards of our children’s education and
we will promote quality job training for all citizens seeking the skills
to thrive in a technologically and intellectually challenging world;
We will be faithful stewards of our economy by supporting sound
fiscal and energy policies that will create opportunities for all citizens
now and in the future;
We will be faithful stewards of our natural resources by pursuing
sustainable environmental policies and by leaving this planet in a better
condition than we found it so future generations may enjoy its beauty;
We will be faithful stewards of our health and well being by
promoting policies that will create access to affordable health care, and
by supporting research to improve health conditions and fight diseases;
We will be faithful stewards of our communities by supporting
efforts to control crime and promoting policies that will encourage better
planning to ensure a rich quality of life;
We will be faithful stewards of our democracy, by honoring those
who have sacrificed to safeguard it, and by defending it against all who
would threaten it;
And we will be faithful stewards of our freedoms of equality,
religion and expression so that men and women of all races and faiths can
live, follow their beliefs, and express their views without fear of
discrimination or reprisal.
We, as Democrats, understand and accept our
responsibilities to our fellow Tennesseans. We follow the scriptural and
cultural admonitions that call on us to care for the least among us, and
to prepare for that which is to come. We look to the future while living
our lives and remembering our past, and we gratefully accept our role as
stewards of God’s creations.
