A progressive is a belief that we can and will change the world. That the status quo is not working so we 'progressively' look outside that to what may work. We believe the political process is not working - so want to do something to change it, make it successful. Our ideas are fresh, unique and they work. We debate, discuss and deliberate the best avenue to ensure that everyone has a chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Health care, education, foreign policy, environment, these are at the forefront of our direction - not money or power. This is what I believe.
