Joan L. - Portland, OR

Progressives are those of us who feel that we, as a country, as a people, should always be looking forward trying to improve all of our lives. This movement leaves no one out, but encourages fairness, equality and concern for one another. We look to creating the best ways to improve the lives of all men, women and children, assuring basic essentials like food to eat, a place to sleep and health care offered to all. We are not bleeding hearts; we are practical solution finders who want to make the world better.
