	Democratic Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption.
		The Democrats were split over entering Iraq in 2003 and increasingly expressed concerns about both the justification and progress of the War on Terrorism and the domestic effects, including threats to civil rights and civil liberties, from the USA PATRIOT Act.
		Civil libertarians also often support the Democratic Party because its positions on such issues as civil rights and separation of church and state are more closely aligned to their own than the positions of the Republican Party, and because the Democrats' economic agenda may be more appealing to them than that of the Libertarian Party.

	Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - Canadian Action Party
		Chief among the target parties was the federal New Democratic Party (NDP).

		In fact, in a November 17, 2003 CAP media release, the party said that Council of Canadians leader "Maude Barlow masterfully defines the most important issues facing Canada right now as we head into the next election".

		On Labor Day, the starting point for the mad rush to this winter's Democratic presidential caucuses and primaries, several of the Democratic contenders could point to support they have received from the unions and union members that will be critical to securing the party's nomination to challenge George W.

		Indeed, public sector unions and the CLC, which represents more than three million workers and bills itself as “the national voice of the labour movement,” seem to be increasingly critical of Israeli policies, often straying from a balanced view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		The CLC also adopted a resolution that called for an end to the killing of Israeli citizens, something other unions had been unwilling to do, but a resolution that is quite similar to the CUPE original was passed at the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ (CUPW) 2002 convention and remains union policy to this day.

		There is some indication that the site was made prior to 2001 and has never been updated since: the DCUs policies speak of eliminating RRSP foreign content restrictions by 2001.
		The party's policies are extremely limited in scope: the party would cut taxes, subsidize education, and make some changes to the RRSP system.

		The nearly 1,000 union delegates from 56 unions will meet at the historic Navy Pier where the Convention mantratheme, “Respect Work, Reward Workers,” is a timely—and all-too needed—reminder that sending jobs overseas, paying below-poverty-level wages and making health care and retirement security out of reach harms millions of hardworking employees and their families.
		Representing every job category, union and geographic area, workers wrote about the issues critical to their workplaces, unions and the nation and recommended strategies for building strong unions, communicating with members and conveying the union difference to the press and public.
