The Conservative Democratic Caucus Gives Voice to the Growing Number of Conservatives in the Democratic Party

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) August 2003 –- A growing number of democrats have been voicing their concern over the image and perception of the Democratic Party. Perceived by the public as left leaning and liberal the Democratic Party moderate and conservative factions have become disenfranchised. The Republican Party has made tremendous inroads to traditionally Democratic groups, and the Democratic Party's reaction has been to retreat to the far left. Recently a pollster for President Bill Clinton warned that The Democratic Party is "currently in its weakest position since the dawn of the New Deal." In response to these ongoing concerns, the Conservative Democratic Caucus (CDC) was formed.

With more and more Americans identifying themselves as conservatives, and a declining percentage of Americans who identify themselves as Democrats, the CDC offers an alternative. The CDC agenda is to support and protect the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as they exist, to win back disenfranchised democrats and act as a Conservative voice in the Democratic Party.

Conservative Democrats?

Traditionally associated with the Republican Party political conservatism is by no means a strictly Republican ideology. Conservatism is an ideology, which emphasizes progress guided by reason, pragmatism, and tradition as a source of wisdom. Tracing it’s roots to Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Caucus the Democratic party has a wealth of traditions to call upon, has well as a long history of political conservatism dating back to Andrew Jackson. Today the Party once touted as the party of the people is now portrayed in the media as a group of extreme left-wingers. This is simply not the case, in yearly voting polls more than half of Democrats identified themselves as moderate, conservative, or strongly conservative. This is not currently reflected in the Party’s image or the public's perception.

The Conservative Democratic Caucus (CDC) is a conservative democratic organization. Its mission is to change public perception of the Democratic Party from a party of radical liberals back to its roots as a party of the people.

About the Conservative Democratic Caucus

The CDC was founded in 2002 by a group of conservative and moderate Democrats who were concerned over the direction and public perception of the Democratic Party. The CDC's goal is to be the voice of the people, the conservative and moderate "silent majority" of Democrats, to win back the disenfranchised "Reagan" Democrats, and to change the public perception that the Democratic Party is composed entirely of extreme left-wing liberals, and you can help.
