I think we should limit the number of values words/phrases to about ten,twelve max. Once we settle on 10 or 12 words, we can arrange them in order.I think the words/phrases with the highest impact should be placed at thebeginning and the end.We have nine words/phrases that are pretty strong right now (in alphabeticalorder):
1. A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT (ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION, ENVIRONMENTALISM, AHEALTHY ENVIRONMENT or something like that.)
2. THE BILL OF RIGHTS
3. COMPASSION
4. EQUALITY
5. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
6. FREEDOM
7. SOCIAL JUSTICE
8. STRENGTH
9. TOLERANCE
The above list is not etched in stone. If you think a word/phrase should bedropped or substituted, go ahead and make a case.I would like poll everyone by getting a list of 15 words/phrases from eachmember, in order of preference with #1 being your favorite. This is not avote, but it should give us a good starting point from which we can whittledown the list.Below is a list of other possible words/phrases to choose from. This list isnot comprehensive. If you have an idea that isn't listed, let's hear it.

There are a few words that I like:
fair trade
responsibility
liberty
stength
opportunity
Progressive
Equality
Hope
Service
Something that conveys that we care about the environment, and something that conveys that we believe in a better attainable tomorrow....
I also don't belive that we can have complex thoughts expressed in words, such as a clean enviroment or jobs for americans...one maybe two words are the most that I think we can use.
I also think it is important that we start doing away with words that we don't want on our shirts....
I don't think that these words best explain the LCYD's goals and activities:
Cooperation
Democracy
Human Rights
Emapthy
Justice
Protection
Safety
Trust
Wisdom
alternatives to violence
Tis Done, the shirts are going to the printers on Thursday3-24-05! Thanks for you input, I hope that everyone rushes out to be the first one in their neighborhood to purchase thier very own LCYD Values t-shirt.
