Being a progressive boils down to possessing a kind of maturity that resists impulses towards selfishness and self-centered indifference when considering how an evolving society should treat people and all species in this country and abroad.We understand that to thrive as a just and civilized country, then communities and elected officials at every level of government must allocate the people’s treasure wisely and fairly — otherwise society suffers wounds that, if left untreated, will turn gangrene and poison every part.It means taking action — to insure that conflicting interests can be resolved and the greater good can be achieved.
