As Liberals, we believe:

1. All Americans should have the same freedoms and opportunities.
2. We are each responsible for protecting the freedoms and opportunities of all Americans.
3. We and our government should be competent and compassionate, using our freedoms and opportunities wisely and helping those with fewer freedoms and opportunities than the rest of us.
4. Our United States should be a cooperative member of our world's community of nations.

Having good values is not enough. Organized effective political action is necessary.

Our Vision is one million well informed Puget Sound Liberals acting effectively in cooperation to realize our values.

Our Mission is to inform our Liberals about our liberal values, historic struggles, policies, political strategies and organizing skills. And to enable them to identify, communicate, associate and cooperate with each other and with political, advocacy and caring organizations.

Our History: Forging an Educated Network of Liberal Activists

We initiated our Lake Hills Liberals Experimental Demonstration project in October, 2005. Within our one mile square neighborhood, we recruited members, stimulated 80 of them to display 'Proud Liberal, Time for a Change" yard signs and bumper stickers, began our weekly email newsletter and created our website. We organized various events, including block and house parties to enable neighbors to know each other for crime prevention, disaster response, and protecting and helping our children. We stimulated cooperation among our home owners and low rent apartment tenants. In the summer of 2006, we canvassed 1200 households, adding 1000 likely Democratic voters to the 700 previously identified ones for a total of 1700. We stimulated them to vote, which helped elect our Democratic candidates.

As we gained more members outside Lake Hills, we became the Puget Sound Liberals. We have championed public campaign financing, reforming our unfair tax system through substituting progressive taxes for our present regressive ones, and ending business abuse of our environment, workers, consumers, and others.

Our Political Priorities

• Fair Clean Elections and Open Government
• Fair Taxes and Competent Spending
• Investment for Productivity
• Quality Health, Education, Jobs, Income and Retirement
• Environmental Protection and Energy Independence
• Personal Security and Equal Rights
• Justice and Peace Everywhere
• International Cooperation and Leadership

Conservatives oppose all of these.
