A) To counter the disinformation directed toward Democratic ideals and to vigorously challenge the demonization of Democratic ideals and individuals that support them. B) To dispel the notion that the country music community is predominantly Republican. C) To defend the First Amendment rights of those in our community.
3) To endorse and support Democratic candidates for election in local, state and national elections.
