Rebecca P. - Portland, ME

As a progressive, I envision a world where all people are valued. This means an end to war which displaces people from their homelands; an end to sweat-shops, substandard wages and all unfair labor practices; an end to pollution which makes the land and the people sick; an end to racism and discriminatory laws; an end to ignorance and hopelessness. In their place, give me peace and a safe home for everyone; give me good jobs with fair compensation; give me environmental responsibility and health care for all who are sick; give me acceptance and laws which uphold the dignity of each person; give me education and hope for the future.
