"The Bush budget documents the fundamental
failure of the Bush Administration to understand the real needs of the Asian
American and Pacific Islander community." -- Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA),
Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
| Bush's
Patriot Act: The Unpatriotic Act Bush’s domestic actions in conducting the nation’s “War on Terrorism” threaten to destroy the very freedoms for which we are fighting. Under Bush’s so-called Patriot Act, even American citizens have been arrested and held in secret with no access to a lawyer, no right to challenge their detention in court, and no right to know why they are being held. Imagine if your spouse or child or neighbor simply disappeared without a trace. This is un-American.

Democratic Party Platform Equality of Opportunity The California Democratic Party believes that all persons deserve the
opportunity to fully participate in the economic, cultural, political
and social facets of society. We take pride in and celebrate our diversity,
and work to foster the common values, visions and commitments that unite
all people regardless of their age, cultural heritage, national origin,
disability, socio-economic status, gender, race, sexual orientation or
views on religion. |

Democratic Party Platform 2000 Building One America America's diversity is expanding, yet amidst important signs of progress,
there is widespread evidence of persistent discrimination, growing racial
segregation of our schools and neighborhoods, and dream-crushing barriers
to opportunity. We cannot - we dare not - remain a nation divided. Our
vision is of an America healed of hatreds and misunderstanding, with equality
and opportunity so rich that legacies of discrimination and exclusion
will be found only in history books, and not in our communities. |
