Democrats Make Life Better, But We Can't Do it Without YOU!

DONATE

The  campaigns for the 2024 November elections are past us.  Obviously, the presidential election did not go as we hoped.  However, we can take solace in the outcome of our state elections.  We retained Val Hoyle in Congressional District 4 and FLIPPED congretional district 5 with Janelle Bynum’s victory.

 Democrats control the governorship and the State Senate and House.  Democrats were also elected to the State offices of Secretary of State (Tobias Reid) and Treasurer  (Elizabeth Steiner Hayward).

 Please consider donating so that we can continue the important work of recruiting new Democrats, energizing our current voters and supporting local candidates. Help keep Oregon Blue and work for a blue Curry County!  

 

You can donate by clicking on the ActBlue icon above or consider setting up a monthly donation through your bank account.  A $3.00 monthly donation (about a dime a day) will go a long long way towards helping us achieve our goals!  Thanks in Advance!

VOLUNTEER

Help out in the Brookings office, volunteer at special events, participate in letter-writing campaigns and phone banking, ride our float in a parade, make friends with like-minded people and much more.  We will make excellent use of your talents!

A Democratic Vision for Curry County

We the People
Good Governance

Voting

Voting is a fundamental right and the cornerstone of our democracy. We support federal standards to ensure that all eligible voters are able to exercise this right without impediment. This includes the national option to vote by mail.

Education  

An educated citizenry is essential to the development and stability of our nation. High-quality public Pre-K through vocational training and community college should be fully-funded by our government. All Americans should have access to affordable public higher education.

Economic Justice

Sustained economic growth should create prosperity for all people rather than concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a privileged few. All members of society deserve the opportunity to earn a living wage. Tax reform must protect working families and the vulnerable while requiring corporations and the wealthy to pay a fair share.

United States Postal Service

The USPS should be fully supported so that it may continue to provide reliable, affordable, and universal mail service. We also support legislation that will allow the USPS to serve as a public banking option.

Gun Ownership

It is a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Common-sense gun laws reduce gun violence and promote public safety. Reasonable gun legislation saves lives.

Public Safety

All Americans have the right to be safe in our communities. Our government institutions must follow a single standard of public safety for All.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
Health, Wellness, and General Welfare

Health Care

Access to quality, affordable health services is a human right. Everyone should be provided with necessary health services, whenever and wherever needed, without suffering financial hardship.  

Every woman has the fundamental right to make decisions regarding her personal health. All women deserve access to a full range of legal reproductive healthcare services, including safe abortions.

COVID-19 and Future Pandemics

Federal, state, and local governments must protect public health during a pandemic. This includes providing free access to vaccination, requiring proven mitigation measures such as mask use, and providing additional assistance to underserved communities. A permanent pandemic taskforce should be maintained at the national level.

Affordable, Available Housing

Safe, stable, and affordable housing should be available in every community across America. Everyone deserves access to a place to call home.

Veterans

We honor all active-duty and retired members of the US Armed Services and Reserve Guard Forces and support their full access to all earned benefits.

Cannabis/Banking Transparency

The use, production, and sales of cannabis should be legalized federally, including allowing the cannabis industry access to the nation’s banking system. Retail cannabis is a legitimate business that will bolster our national economy.

Unions and Wages

All workers deserve the right to organize and bargain collectively. An inflation-adjusted minimum wage is essential for all American workers. The national minimum wage should be a living wage.

Liberty and Justice for All
Equality and Fairness Under the Law

Social Justice/Equal Opportunity

All people are worthy of and deserve equal political, social, and economic rights and opportunities. We denounce prejudice, hatred, or discrimination directed at any individual or group of people. We support legislation that strives to achieve dignity and equal opportunity for All.

Immigration

Border security is essential to national security. We support secure borders with sensible, humane immigration policies providing for direct pathways to citizenship for immigrant youth (DACA) and legal residency and eventual citizenship for undocumented immigrant workers and their families. Asylum for immigrants fleeing violence, harm and/or death must be upheld as required by U.S. and International Law.

Criminal Justice

The Department of Justice has an independent duty to uphold the rule of law by enforcing a single justice system — one that ensures fair and equitable treatment of all people without bias. We oppose privatization of prisons, excessive incarceration, and the death penalty, all of which reinforce systemic racial inequity. We support fair and humane treatment of incarcerated individuals, parole reform, and re-entry rehabilitation programs.

Law Enforcement Reform

Law enforcement plays a crucial role in public safety. Sweeping structural changes in policing policies are needed to combat excessive use of force and racial or social profiling. Policies should be established requiring transparency and accountability, the end to “qualified immunity,” and a national registry to track police misconduct.

A Sustainable Planet
Environment

Climate Change

Science makes it clear that our climate is in crisis due to continuing human impact. Government and business leaders must take immediate action to limit greenhouse gas emissions for the sake of ourselves, our children, and future generations.

Green New Deal

The Green New Deal will provide the basis for building clean water systems, energy grids, and low emission public transportation. It will also create numerous jobs with stable living wages, and ensure healthier living conditions for neglected lower-income families where hazardous health environments exist.

Buy American, Shop Local

Community members should support local economies by purchasing American-made goods from local businesses, and by supporting local entrepreneurs.

Infrastructure

Government should support public projects to modernize our physical infrastructure (including roads and bridges, water systems, the electrical grid, and communication systems), as well as our social infrastructure (including schools, child care, affordable housing, and hospitals).

Community Disaster Preparedness

Withstanding and recovering from disasters should be a community-focused endeavor supported by federal, state, and local agencies. We envision resilient communities that encourage individual preparedness while facilitating a robust, collective response to large-scale disasters.

Precincts and PCPs

About Precinct Persons (PCPs)

Precinct Committee Persons are the building blocks of the Democratic Party of Oregon. They are voted on locally and represent precincts of 250 registered voters. But there are additional responsibilities, powers and opportunities vested in these grassroots elected officials.

PCPs are the critical driving force behind registering voters, getting out the word on candidates, and helping Democrats understand the party’s structure, process, and platform. They are the people who go out, walk neighborhoods, and connect with and activate progressive Oregonians, by talking to independent, unaffiliated, and Democratic voters alike. These are completely volunteer positions with time commitment and responsibilities largely set by each PCP individually.

OUR MISSION

  • Increase Voter Engagement and Turnout: voter registration drives, education campaigns, and get-out-the-vote efforts. This helps to ensure that more people in our community are informed and engaged in the democratic process, ultimately leading to a more representative and accountable government.
  • Balance Political Influence: In our area, political power is weighted towards the Republicans. Fostering a more diverse and dynamic political environment leads to more balanced policy-making that reflects a wider range of perspectives.
  • Promoting Democratic Values and Policies: We support and promote issues like affordable healthcare, climate change, civil rights, and social justice and seek to advance these causes at a grassroots level.
  • Building Stronger Communities: The Curry Democrats invest time and effort supporting community development initiatives. These efforts can include programs for education, public health, housing, and job creation, making your community a better place to live.
  • Funding Grassroots Campaigns: The Curry County Democrats often support candidates running for city councils, school boards, state legislatures, and other local positions. These candidates play a vital role in shaping policies that directly impact our community.

OUR PRINCIPLES

  1. We believe that we can all work together to build a better society – that “we’re all in this together” is a better philosophy than “you’re on your own.”
  2. We hold that the Constitution of the United States of America, in its entirety, is the supreme law of the land, and no other document, religious or secular, shall be held above it.
  3. We value compassion, generosity of spirit, and willingness to come to the aid of others. We are motivated by optimism and hope, not fear and cynicism.
  4. We believe that the role of government is to provide every person with opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, regardless or race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or accident of birth.
  5. We believe that our economic success depends on the shared prosperity of all people, not the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a privileged few.
  6. We believe that our shared prosperity and competitiveness in the world market depends on the ability of every member of our community to reach their full potential through access to quality, affordable education.
  7. We believe that universal access to quality, affordable health care is both an individual right and a common good for society as a whole.
  8. We believe in finding practical, innovative solutions to the problems of our community, state and nation. Yesterday’s solutions can’t solve tomorrow’s problems.
  9. We believe that a clean environment is essential to the wellbeing of our community and our planet, and that no one has the right to the unsustainable exploitation of the earth’s resources for profit or personal gain.
  10. We understand that hard-­earned tax dollars paid by the middle class and poor should not be used to subsidize tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Those who benefit most from society should contribute the most.
  11. We respect a woman’s right to make her own choices for herself and her family with respect to her health and her body.
  12. We hold the right to vote as fundamental to our democratic system of government and that no law, regulation, or administrative action should limit the ability of all adult citizens to exercise the right to vote and to have those votes accurately counted.
  13. We support the constitutional right of every law­abiding adult to keep and bear arms for self defense, hunting, and recreation.
  14. We believe that secure borders are essential to national security. We advocate ending unauthorized immigration through improved border security, by requiring employers to give priority to hiring U.S. citizens at a fair market-­based wage, and by implementing a guest worker program for documented insistence where the domestic labor supply proves to be insufficient to meet demand.
  15. We assert that constitutional rights should apply only to natural people, not legal entities created by government. We therefore support a constitutional amendment specifying that rights enumerated in the Constitution apply only to natural people.
  16. We honor the constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech and assert that this right is compromised when money is linked under the law to political speech. We therefore support a Constitutional amendment to permit state and federal governments to set limits on the use of money in political speech.

OUR CHARTER

This body has the authority to adopt rules (called Bylaws) or resolutions covering any matter of party government within the county.

These basic policies, beliefs, and standards are then passed on to the State and National party for action.
