William N. - Gig Harbor,, WA

A progressive is one who believes that we must have a vision of the kind of world we want based on justice and love, not self interest and an eye for an eye. This vision must not only be local, but that of the world community. It must appeal to our gut needs, but also it must lift our understanding of the reality we face in the world. Above all, it must spell out practical means to achieve the vision that ordinary folks like you and me can do. For example, our vision is that every person must have adequate health care and the practical means to do it here in the U.S. is to enroll everyone in Medicare. That is what it means to be a progressive
