Edrie I. - Arlington, VA

A Progressive is someone who believes that everyone deserves the same opportunity to succeed regardless of background or birthplace, that the cost of ensuring this opportunity should be shared fairly by all, that sound governmental policies are based not on today's problems but tomorrow's possibilities, that each generation owes a debt to those who coame before and has an obligation to those who come after, that this country with its richness of resources in land and people is great because of who we are together. Progressives share a vision of a just world--rich in dialogue, based in the rule of law, respecting differences and pursuing common grounds.
