TOM C. - DICKINSON, TX

A PROGRESSIVE IS A PERSON WHO REALIZES THAT WE MUST SEE THE FUTURE AND ACT ACCORDINGLY NOW. ENERGY SOURCES MUST BE DEVELOPED WITHOUT THE FOSSIL FUEL MAGNANTS, EXXON, SHELL, ET AL HAVING THE GRIP ON THIS SO CALLED 'DEMOCRACY'. AS LONG AS THE EXECUTIVE AND THE CONGRESS ARE OWNED BY BIG OIL, FOSSIL FUEL WILL DICTATE OUR LIVES, THAT IS, THE STATUS QUO. A PROGRESIVE REALIZES THAT SOLAR, THE BIGGIST NUCLEAR PLANT IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, AND WIND AND TIDAL AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SOURCES ARE OUR FUTURE. THE STATUS QUO OF OIL, MAKES THE OIL EXECS, AND POLITICAL FLUNKIES WEALTHY, BUT AT WHAT COST?
