Gary K. - Rolling Meadows, IL

Progressive: An individual who is a forward thinking, positive, optimistic visionary who is also a political realist who considers politics 'the art of the possible.' From the Latin, 'pro,' meaning advance forward or to be FOR something. 'gressive,' from Indo-european roots meaning to be one who goes or walks. A PROgressive looks and goes forward and is FOR people, our environment, compassion, liberty, human rights and dignity. A PROgressive believes in people and in a representative government that will 'PROmote the general welfare,' PROtect our freedoms, and PROvide defense. A PROgressive is affirmative, not negative, PRO, not CON. I am PROud to be a PROgressive.
