A Progressive is a politically aware citizen who is committed to original democratic ideals as embodied in the Constitution of the United States and who interprets the rights of citizens as stated therein to also include inherent responsibilities to one's fellow citizens to protect and defend those rights for all people.Those responsibilities also include the active and ongoing expression of those ideals in the promotion of ideas, issues and policy for the betterment of all citizens, not the advantage of the few. A true realization of a nation 'of the people, by the people and for the people'.
