The Third Way

The Third Way philosophy seeks to adapt enduring progressive values to the new challenges of the information age. It rests on three cornerstones: the idea that government should promote equal opportunity for all while granting special privilege for none; an ethic of mutual responsibility that equally rejects the politics of entitlement and the politics of social abandonment; and, a new approach to governing that empowers citizens to act for themselves. 

The Third Way approach to economic opportunity and security stresses technological innovation, competitive enterprise, and education rather than top-down redistribution or laissez faire. On questions of values, it embraces "tolerant traditionalism," honoring traditional moral and family values while resisting attempts to impose them on others. It favors an enabling rather than a bureaucratic government, expanding choices for citizens, using market means to achieve public ends and encouraging civic and community institutions to play a larger role in public life. The Third Way works to build inclusive, multiethnic societies based on common allegiance to democratic values.

The New Democrats

====================================

The New Democrats' Credo

As Democrats, we believe in equal opportunity and upward mobility. We believe that economic and social progress are built on the talents and efforts of all Americans, not just a privileged few. 

As New Democrats, we understand that the private sector, not government, is the primary engine of economic growth, and that government's role is to promote growth and equip Americans to succeed in the private sector. 

As Democrats, we believe in tolerance and inclusion. We are the party of civil rights and equal rights. 

As New Democrats, we understand that tolerance and inclusion are best promoted within the context of a common civic culture grounded in the values most Americans share: work, family, personal responsibility, individual liberty, and faith. 

As Democrats, we believe in community. We believe that we can achieve our individual destinies only if we share a commitment to our national destiny. 

As New Democrats, we understand that living in a community requires mutual responsibility. As the instrument of the community's will, government should create opportunity for citizens, but citizens should give something back to the commonwealth. 

As Democrats, we believe America has a responsibility to lead the world toward greater political and economic freedom. 

As New Democrats, we understand that America's principal challenge in the world today is to maintain our leadership in the global economy, to show that freedom can benefit all nations and can lift standards of living worldwide. 

As Democrats, we believe that government can and should play a positive role in national life. 

As New Democrats, we understand that government should be constantly modernized to cope with the fast-paced Information Age.
