The New Democracy’s Citizen Promise

 Seven Virtues of the New Democracy

A democracy is a government devised to articulate and elevate to public law the collective authority of the people into an evolving form of law and order that justly serves the inevitable plurality of the people. Democracy is a practice, a skill, and a set of core virtues that work together to form a government devoted to the public service to and for all citizens. The responsibility of every citizen in the democracy is to develop their knowledge, skill, and morality to contribute to the overall good of the society. The virtues of democracy exist to accommodate the individual, personal, and religious requirements of the citizen. The commitment is to allow every individual to freely practice their religion and beliefs to the extent their practice does not violate the democratic rights of fellow citizens.

I as a citizen of a democracy vow to support these virtues:

1. Speaking Truth,
2. Building Toward the ‘Shared Public Reality and unity ’,
3. Freedom of Expression,
4. Respect and Reverence for all life and the living,
5. Primacy of priorities for the future generations and the Earth’s care,
6. Exercising the right to vote as the first element of citizen entitlement, responsibility, power and expression; and 
7. The care and preservation of every citizen’s and visitor’s dignity.
