To be a progressive is to be committed to progress; progress iin all the ways that our Constitution lays forth, and all the values that Americans hold dear. Progress in enabling all men, and women, to be equal, to have equal access to health care, education, protection under the law, privacy, emplyment opportunities and religious freedom, including the freedom to not be religious. Progressive does not mean leaving the values on which this country was founded behind us; it means taking them forward.
