Why I Am a Democrat By Carole Hatch
Loyalty to the Democratic Party was a part of my childhood belief system. My
grandfather was able to support his family by working in New Deal projects
during the Great Depression. My father and many of my friends’ fathers returned
home from fighting in World War II to enjoy the benefits of VA home loans, the
GI Bill, and jobs in a growing economy. My grandparents were able to survive in
their later years with the help of Social Security. All these were Democratic
initiatives.
