Peggy W. - Conroe, TX

A Progressive is not afraid to stand up for the people and what is best for America as well as the world. They support basic human rights that advances everyone by promoting values such as good safe employment with a living wage, an excellent education, a clean and healthy environment, universal healthcare, security from cradle to grave, diplomacy to solve problems, reasonable trade agreements that don't exploit the poor of the world, responsible business practices, a fair and progressive tax system so that those with the most to gain pay accordingly, a balanced budget, cost controls and accountability, strict ethics enforcement, publicly funded campaigns, but most of all demands honest and open government that looks out for the public good and respects privacy.
