WILLIAM S. - PUNTA GORDA, FL

A progressive is someone who recognizes the problems our nation is facing, but who looks for solutions, not who to blame. A progressive seeks input and support from people of all walks of life, not just those of wealth and privilege. A progressive respects a person's color, race and religion, but believes none of those factors should influence the business of the government or that the government should interfere with the individual. A progressive IS a patriot, in the best sense of the word.
