Dear Christian Democratic friends, It is with much pleasure that I welcome you to join and studying and working with this English edition of the Campaign Handbook of the Dutch Christian Democratic Party, the CDA. Since campaigning requires thorough preparation, we hope that this book will contribute to your constructive campaign activities in Central and Eastern Europe. Christian Democratic parties, whether with or without government responsibility, should be recognized to stand for public justice, shared responsibility, solidarity, and responsible stewardship of the earth and its resources.
