BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCIAL CREDIT PARTY CONSTITUTION

Revised April 14, 2000.  Includes Resolutions from AGM 2000.

1.          The name of the society is "THE BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCIAL CREDIT PARTY".

2.          The objectives of the Society are:

(a)                To foster and encourage the development of those social, moral and ethical principles which have historically guided the people of this province to the pursuit of their individual goals, regardless of gender, ethnic origin or religious affiliation.

(b)               To ensure responsible and effective democratic government so that the people will gain the results they desire from the management of their affairs.  We believe that one cannot have freedom without responsibility.

(c)                To assist and encourage the establishment of Social Credit organizations.

(d)               To encourage and promote the expression of democratic principles and the spirit of free enterprise.

(e)                To oppose any attempt to spread or implant the seed of racial discrimination, class hatred or religious prejudice among the citizens of the Province of British Columbia.

(f)                 To expose and oppose any attempts to weaken the democratic institutions of the people by means of increased centralization of power.

(g)                To uphold the democratic rights of the people.

(h)                To abolish poverty and privation.

(i)                  To secure freedom from oppressive debt and taxation.

(j)                 To provide the people with information on matters essential to their welfare and with a process for taking action to assert their democratic will.

(k)               Social Credit is unalterably opposed to any form of dictatorship which makes the Individual subservient to the State.  Social Credit recognizes the traditional family as the basic unit of society and regards the sanctity of the home as fundamental.

(1)               Social Credit believes in the principle of helping people help themselves.

3.          The principles of society recognize the supremacy of God and the rule or law.

(a)                The individual is the most important factor in organized society and as a divinely-created being with both spiritual and physical potentials and needs, and has certain inalienable rights which must be respected and preserved.

(b)               The major function of democratic government in organized society is to secure for the people the results they want from the management of their public affairs as far as such results are physically possible and morally right.

(c)                Security with freedom.  Material security alone is not enough.

(d)               Whatever is physically possible and desirable and morally right should be made financially possible.

4.          The operations of the society are to be carried on in the Province of  British Columbia.
