UCDW Core Values & Priority Issues

At tonight's meeting we discussed using the blog to help us identify UCDW's core values and key issues so that we may poll future candidates' on their stances on these values and issues. But first WE need to identify said core values and issues ourselves.

Are there any issues that are "drop dead" issues, as in if a candidate disagrees with one that we do not endorse that candidate? For instance, Eleanor's Legacy only endorses female Democrats who are pro-Choice--male candidates are not funded nor are non-democrats or those who do not take a pro-choice stance.

Please respond in a connected comment to this posting (you will have to sign in to do so).

Here are a few issues/values to start us off with:

Democrats

Women's rights

Pro-choice

Equal pay

Voting Access

Transparency

(Against) Domestic Violence

Equal Rights

Gay Rights

Accountability

Social Justice
