Democratic Party Platform of 1964
Contents:
One Nation, One People
America is One Nation, One People. The welfare, progress, security and survival of each of us reside in the common good—the sharing of responsibilities as well as benefits by all our people.
Democracy in America rests on the confidence that people can be trusted with freedom. It comes from the connection that we will find in freedom a unity of purpose stronger than all our differences.
We have drawn upon that unity when the forces of ignorance, hate, and fear fired an assassin’s bullet at the nation’s heart, incited violence in our land, and attacked the outposts of freedom around the world.
Because of this unity, those who traffic in fear, hate, falsehood, and violence have failed to undermine our people’s deep love of truth and quiet faith in freedom.
Our program for the future is to make the national purpose—the human purpose of us all—fulfill our individual needs.
Accordingly, we offer this platform as a covenant of unity.
We invite all to join us who believe that narrow partisanship takes too small account of the size of our task, the penalties for failure and the boundless rewards to all our people for success.
We offer as the goal of this covenant peace for all nations and freedom for all peoples.
