A progressive is a person who understands that to be a successful tomorrow requires a new mindset today. This mindset is inclusive, truly democratic, transparent and concerned about the everyday issues of interest to everyday Americans. Progressives get it that the world is flat, that illness and proverty anywhere in the world affects us all, that economic and social ties are stronger bonds for countries than might and force, and that making a business of sustainability can power our economy better than old world oil and power brokers. Progressives understand how weary and broken hearted we are to see our country in it's current state of dishonesty and greed, They reflect for us a new hope.
