We stand FOR peaceful solutions to all human individual and group and national problems, understanding that in reality strength is often suddenly required.

We stand FOR a community of nations where every voice is given the respect of a hearing.

We stand FOR an understanding of economics that sees economic markets as one of many methods for the allocation of goods and services, but never the allocation of civil rights of human beings and natural rights of other sentient beings and animals.

We stand FOR the equitable distribution of the Wealth of the Nations according to principles like those in The Theory of Moral Sentiments both expressed by Adam Smith, understanding that all human beings contribute to this wealth " and that no person should acquire vastly more than his needs while others have not or cannot meet their essential needs.

We stand FOR the concept of science-based medical services as a natural and a civil Right of all people.

We stand FOR the progress of scientific truth, respecting all peaceful religious traditions as considerate of and constructive for the human condition.

We stand FOR the right of all people to express themselves in the arts, including those with whom we vocally or silently disagree.

We stand FOR the right of all people to acquire as much education as they are capable of at minimal cost to themselves and their families free from the coercion of ideologies and religions.

We stand FOR the emergence of our species as an acceptable member of the community of sentient beings in the Universe.
