Much progress toward democracy is being made and increasingly democratic leaders are recognizing that democracy is not only the in their national interest, but also crucial to them.
Alliance supporters must show why democracies should act as an alliance, why democracy is a long run solution, and particularly, why intervention is a matter of national security and human welfare.
Democracies, with all their blemishes and faults, with all the "terrible" things they have done, are now the best hope of humanity for a peaceful and democide free world.
DemocracyAlliance was founded by former Clinton Treasury official Rob Stein and various donors in 2005.
Rob McKay of the McKay Foundation and Anna Burger of SEIU are the elected chair and vice chair of the board of directors of the DemocracyAlliance.
Rob Johnson, an early board member, says the tension in the Alliance is between 'party subsidizers' and 'climate changers'--those who want to fund organizations that work toward more effectively electing candidates versus those who aspire to change the fundamental nature of political debate with a stronger set of governing principles.
