	Jamaica Gleaner - Extortion and democratic security - Sunday \| October 12, 2003
		Democratic security means that citizens and state must act together to protect democracy from its enemies.
		One report, critical of Bangladesh for its failure to establish democratic values, the rule of law and good governance said that, democracy is meaningless if citizens have no security of life and property and if thugs and criminals of every variety have things their own way.
		Democratic security requires that there be credible, active and courageous civil society.

		Other countries that had civilian governments with different degrees of democratic or authoritarian participation, such as Venezuela and Mexico, are undergoing a profound crisis in their populist structures that have been tainted with corruption.
		In a democracy, security is tied up to the mechanisms of interaction and feedback between the media, political parties, public opinion and the civilian society at large, police prevention systems, justice prevention systems and defense systems organized by the armed forces.
		It is a sort of confidence-building measure at the level of security between democratically-elected governments and the population at large.

	Truman National Security Project - Truman Paper
		Democrats today who use the core language of liberalism, such as democracy and individual freedom, are seen as Republicans in sheep's clothing.
		Democrats stand for the dignity of every man and woman, no matter how poor, no matter where they are from, or what their race or creed.
		Truman Democrats call for strength through a more generous, compelling vision of society, a vision that is not created out of reaction to conservative ideas, but is crafted out of Democratic values.

	Democratic security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Democratic security or Democratic security policy refers to a Colombian security policy implemented during the administration of President Álvaro Uribe (2002-2006).
		From this point of view, the resulting polarization caused by the long term application of the policy would also be considered an obstacle to the achievement of a negotiated solution of the conflict with FARC and ELN guerrillas.
		A number of the more radical critics, in particular leftwing extremists and sympathizers or members of FARC, also consider that "democratic security" may be a euphemism for the controversial national security policy that existed throughout South America during the later stages of the Cold War, seeking to stop the spread of Communism.

	Democratic Security Has Not Arrived for Colombia’s Indigenous Communities
		After an intense confrontation between the FARC and state security forces in Toribio, Cauca that lasted 11 days last April, local Army commanders were quick to proclaim that the “cowardly terrorist group” had been “neutralized,” and that security had arrived for the people of the region.
		The approach of involving civilians in local security has resulted in tensions between the government and a growing number of “peace communities”; in Colombia who have taken a position of “active neutrality” in the conflict.
		Ultimately, what is clear is that democratic security for the indigenous communities in northern Cauca has not been all that the government has described it as.

	GMF – It's National Security, Stupid!
		Democrats are rightfully angry that White House senior political adviser Karl Rove used national security issues as a political weapon in 2002.
		Because Democrats are often seen to be ducking the tough questions on the use of force, Americans wonder whether Democrats are up to the job of protecting them.
		With Europe now largely democratic and at peace, the Greater Middle East is the source of our greatest threats—in the form of future terrorist attacks, financing that flows out of Saudi Arabia and other oil kingdoms for such terror, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

	Spratt (SC05) :: Newsroom :: Spratt Statement at News Conference on Democratic National Security Strategy
		Our national security is based on the premise that the United States should do everything -- everything we can -- to avert such a catastrophe on the fastest possible timetable.
		And research reactors around the world in at least 25 countries house nuclear materials that are secured in many cases by no more than a dog and a chain-link fence.
		Democrats know that we should be spending substantially more on Nunn-Lugar, not less, and we'll bend every effort to see that that happens.

		From their permanent commitment to a failed strategy in Iraq to a pre-9/11 mindset that has kept them from closing vital gaps in our homeland security, Republicans in Washington have proven to be dangerously incompetent when it comes to protecting the American people.
		North Korea’s announcement of their alleged nuclear test over the weekend is further evidence that President Bush has taken his eye off the ball, allowing a member of the so-called ‘axis of evil’ to allegedly test a nuclear weapon.

	Democracy and Citizen Security
		Public outrage over the lack of government commitment to promote citizen security, reduce crime and violence, and contain conflict, may result in lack of credibility of public institutions such as the judiciary and police and negatively affect trust in democratic governance.
		Citizen security typically supports increased decentralization, because knowledge of local realities, needs and culture is essential to design and execute public policies and civil society practices that prevent crime and ensure citizen safety.
		Citizen security recognizes that a transparent and accountable security sector is a key element of a democratic government.

	John Kerry National Security Policies - Democratic Convention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In his acceptance speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention, presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., continued his emphasis on international security but did not significantly clarify his policies on the use of force or the future of the UN system, or necessarily distinguish his policies sharply from those of President George W. Bush.
		Kerry went on to cite national security and the war on terrorism as reasons (along with several major domestic issues) for which he argues that the upcoming election is the most significant in many years:
		Given the importance of national security to the current national political debate, it is understandable that Kerry would seek to build upon his own past military experiences.

	The Quest for Democratic Security: The Role of the Council of Europe and U.S. Foreign Policy: Peaceworks: Publications: ...
		The other European security organizations alongside NATO work to ensure that such security has a firm foundation through the strengthening of newly established democratic institutions in the new member states.
		The dilemma is that, while "the other Europe" is drawn into the European security framework, security can never really be achieved without a change in the political cultures of new member states that have ruled their people through decades of antidemocratic ideology and institutions.
		While much of the literature on security focuses on its political and military dimensions, Klebes examines in this study the often neglected legal and normative foundations of security—the rule of law and parliamentary procedure as the bases for democratic security—and the Council of Europe's work in securing these foundations.

	MyDD :: A Democratic Social Security Plan
		Democrats, who believe that America is an interdependent society based upon care and mutual responsibility, understand that it is the government's duty to provide a decent standard of living for elderly Americans, disabled Americans, and survivors of family tragedies that take the life of a primary wage earner.
		It is the position of the Democratic Party that people should not become poor as a result of old age, personal tragedy relating to illness, or family tragedy relating to the passing of a parent or spouse.
		Democratic leaders oppose Social Security as it would be the first step in changing entitlement programs and would set a precedent for Medicare.

		The Democratic Staff of the Committee on Homeland Security's annual report card on the Department of Homeland Security gave the department a "C+" on its policies on aviation security.
		In 2003, Republicans voted against $3 billion for homeland security, including $750 million for border security, $200 million for security at nuclear facilities, $850 million for smallpox vaccinations for first responders, $200 million to improve communication between first responder agencies, $1.1 billion for aviation security and $100 million for the Federal Emergency Management Administration.
		After failing in an attempt to add $5 billion for homeland security to the $390 billion government-wide spending bill, which Democrats said was $9.8 billion short of what they approved in 2002 when they controlled the Senate, Democrats attempted to add $3 billion.

	The Quest for Democratic Security: Peaceworks: Publications: U.S. Institute of Peace
		This study is concerned with the Council of Europe and its efforts to promote democratic security—a political concept agreed on by thirty-one heads of state or government when they gathered in the Austrian capital in October 1993 and adopted what became known as the Vienna Declaration.
		The concept proceeds from the theory of democratic peace, which holds that democracies—even when there are temporary tensions among them—are unlikely to go to war with one another.
		If it is true that American and European security are inseparable—and security cannot be conceived in military and economic terms only—the Council of Europe’s important contribution to the democratic transition in the Eastern half of Europe, and to democratic security all over the continent, merits the attention of U.S. policymakers.

		We haven't had security until now.” However, despite Ortega's blatant endorsement of Uribe's security agenda and the 12th Brigade's attempts to implement it in rural Caquetá, the military offensive has dramatically reduced the level of security for much of the local population.
		The Uribe administration's security agenda has allowed paramilitaries to continue their dirty war against suspected subversives, a categorization that includes unionists, human rights workers and community leaders.

	Media Matters - NBC's Lauer again ignored Democratic security agenda, claimed they have no answer to GOP terror ...
		Today's Democratic proposal "builds on the 'Real Security Platform'" unveiled by House and Senate leaders earlier this year and is a "full soup-to-nuts way to fight the war on terror," said a second Democratic aide familiar with the plan.
		When Democrats unveiled their new national security platform in March -- "Real Security: Protecting America and Restoring Our Leadership in the World" -- NBC similarly ignored the development, and Lauer repeatedly allowed his conservative and Republican guests to suggest that the Democrats have no "agenda" on the issue, as Media Matters noted.
		Say that the Democrats don't have a plan, over and over again, like a robot, regardless of whether or not they actually do in have a plan, so that people will be reluctant to vote for Democratic, and just decide to stick with the Republicans because they are the devil they know, literally and figuratively.
