Veterans have a duty to help forge the future of our country. To that end, Florida Veterans for Common Sense will work to shape local and national policies.

1. As veterans, we support the founding principles of the United States of America. We hold these to be liberty, equality, human rights and democracy. We support these values without regard to partisan politics.

2. As veterans, we call upon our government to provide returning veterans the best medical and psychological treatment. We call for dedicated funding and fundamental reform of the Veterans Health Administration to provide such treatment for all veterans.

3. As veterans, we support a strong military designed to protect citizens against 21st century threats both foreign and domestic. We call upon our government to wage peace by attacking the root causes of war, ignorance, poverty, and injustice and to pursue such goals with as much vigor as applied to military solutions.

4. As veterans, we support the ethical and humane treatment of prisoners and we oppose all torture.
