If you think our citizens deserve affordable housing, the Democrats are far more closely aligned with your beliefs.

If you welcome the alien and the stranger, and believe that their needs are your obligation, vote Democratic.

If taking care of the sick is a bedrock tenet of your faith, come and see what the Democrats have done.

If building a society that seeks out and cares for the lost, your party is the Democrats.
