Vote America's Core Values

“The future of this republic is in the hands of the American Voter” said President Eisenhower.


‘Vote America’s Core Values’ is a brief guide that helps the American Voter evaluate candidates based upon America’s top three Core Values - Liberty, Equality and Self-democracy.


In this 15-page guide, Terri Cole points out that America’s Core Values are the fundamental beliefs and constitutional principles of American society. They are expressly written and referenced in our founding documents - the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Abraham Lincoln restates them in his Emancipation Proclamation and Gettysburg Address.


Terri also provides a list of the Bill of Rights and mentions the role they play in our government. Self-democracy is one of the most powerful Core Values provided to the American people. Terri emphasizes how the power of the government is in the hands of the American Voter. It is the responsibility of the American Voter to demand our leaders commit to and support our Core Values. If you want to influence your government and your elected leaders, your VOTE is how you can make a difference. It is the most powerful thing you have. Eliminating partisan behavior is one of the benefits of using America’s Core Values as a measuring tool to evaluate your candidates. Terri provides you with a Candidate Evaluation Checklist. The Checklist includes questions on Personal Characteristics for Elected Officials and questions testing their knowledge of American History. If they do not know the meaning and the messages from our Founding Documents, they do not belong in any governing office. Your decision to vote for a candidate is based upon your evaluation of their answers to the checklist.
