Robert S. - Syosset, NY

A progressive is someone who gives a damn, someone who cares, and cares enough about human values, to be willing to make sacrifices for those of his fellow human being who are suffering from natural disasters or social upheavals, and cannot help themselves. A progressive is driven by active compassion, not the cold-hearted and materialistic 'bottom line mentality' that makes us ignore poverty here in America. A progressive is concerned about the future of our planet and the people who populate it, and not just today's income.
