About Us

“If
by a ‘Liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind,
someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who
cares about the welfare of the people –their health, their housing,
their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil
liberties – someone who believes we can break through the stalemate
and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what
they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’” --
John F. Kennedy |
