A progressive is an individual or group that cares about each American. This person considers others, the environment and strives for equal and fair treatment. A progressive wants to make a better world for everybody--no matter your creed, color, sex or political affiliation. There are no cronies in this world. There need not be. Because a progressive cares about government, the people and striving to do a good job at the end of the day. Many of us walk in these shoes everyday and do not even consider the improvements in our lives because of our efforts. A progressive does not look for a reward--only the knowledge of helping those in need and a job well done. A progressive is a person who is constantly learning and hoping for a better world for all living things on the planet. Since these values are ingrained into such an individual, money cannot change them or diminish their values. A true Patriotic and Loyal American that would do anything for the betterment of the country and fellow citizens and the world in general. Progressives also speak truth to power and defend their values even in the most dire times. Individuals of this group are not afraid to speak up to fellow citizens and state what is wrong but also what must be done to correct the problem. Progressives are solution based and want to see important issues resolved.
