Colleen K. - Arlington, MA

A progressive is someone who believes that we are all in this together: we all deserve a helping hand when the chipsare down and we all have a right to pursue our dreams. We believe strongly in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, which means we fight hard to keep the door open for everyone to get good health care, go to good schools, and find good jobs.We also believe it is essential to fight forthe fundamental rights we need to live as free Americans such as the freedom to speak our minds, the freedomto know what our government isdoing in our name, the freedomto gain the opportunities we need to pursue our dreams. We want no moreand no less than the freedom to workhard and pull ourselves up in an Americathat doesn't keep anyone from their life journey.
