We will continue to defend the citizen’s right to privacy in our increasingly interdependent society. We oppose computerized national data banks and all other “Big Brother” schemes which endanger individual rights.
We reaffirm our view that voluntary prayer should be freely permitted in public places—particularly, by school children while attending public schools—providing that such prayers are not prepared or prescribed by the state or any of its political subdivisions and that no person’s participation is coerced, thus preserving the traditional separation of church and state.
We remain committed to a comprehensive program of human rights, social betterment and political participation for the people of the District of Columbia.
