Democrats Need to Make America Better for Everyone.


Loudon County Democrats gathered in Lenoir City on Thursday, Aug. 28 to watch Sen. Barak Obama of Illinois accept his party’s nomination for president of the United States.

“The Democratic party needs to stay with the core elements of its foundation and make America a better place for everyone,” Jerry Ferguson said following last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. Ferguson is chairman of the Loudon County Democratic Party.
The historic convention nominated Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for president and Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware for vice president in the upcoming election.
“Going into the convention, there was a great deal of party disunity. Many people who have been loyal to the party for years felt that their voices had not been heard,” Ferguson explained. “They felt that some issues close to them had had not been addressed, and most importantly, they were not receiving the respect they had earned.” Ferguson said that the inclusion of Hillary and Bill Clinton as major contributors to the Democratic party’s platform resulted in a major transformation of the party within a matter of days. It helped create party unity and gave new energy to people who attended the convention and to millions of others who watched it. The term “Democrat” is derived from the word “democracy,” Ferguson said.
Quoting from The American Heritage Dictionary, he noted that the definition of “democracy” is a government by the people, which they exercise directly or through elected representatives. It also is a political or social unit based on this form of rule, and a social condition of equality and respect for the individual within the community.
“At last week’s convention, the Democratic party lived up to its name,” he concluded.
