Will the DNC will pay attention?

Progressivenature.com is my attempt at the front end of things-- usually I'm the technical guru, not the writer. However, I've been trying to raise awareness about "progressivism" and more specifically, "progressive Democrats" before the radical right steps in and does that for us.

I've narrowed down my message, tried to fit in all of the avenues, and communicated with several types of groups (including Republicans and Progressive Party members). But I've just now asked the DNC to lead the effort to define "progressive" and "progressive Democrat."

Here's my e-mail to the DNC (also posted here):

Today there are Progressive Party members, progressive Democrats, and Progressive Republicans. Groups like Progressive Majority train politicians, but what is valued, and should voters trust "progressives"?

I suggest we Democrats take the time to send out talking points about "progressivism".

What about including this (or a modified version of this) on your website and sending this to all Dem groups:

What does progressive mean in today’s world?

As a Noun: Today’s “progressive” is someone who values being able to reach for the American Dream, a fair market, civil rights, freedom, equal application of the law, peaceful negotiation, wise conservation of our natural resources, and transparency in political matters.

As a Verb: “Progressive” is forward thinking and a questioning of the status quo.
In addition, include this (or a modified version of this) blurb about what progressive Democrats work for:

Progressive Democrats work for:

1. Good, living wage jobs. People need to be able to support their families and live the American Dream. Workers have rights. Higher education must be accessible.

2. Regulation which ensures a fair market and protects the middle class’ ability and opportunity to prosper.

3. Affordable, accessible health care which (as it is defined) cannot be denied and is everyone’s responsibility. The health care system should be cutting-edge and efficient.

4. Preservation of our freedom and protection of our rights. Our veterans have fought for us, and we should not take our freedoms for granted.

5. Rule by law and equal application of the law. Clean money laws and other corruption preventing measures.

6. Negotiation and diplomacy rather than the use of force, although there are times when, as a last resort, the use of force is appropriate.

7. Good stewardship of our earth. The use and promotion of alternative energy, recycling, and other earth saving measures should be balanced with the needs of our farmers. We need food on the table, but we also value clean drinking water, fishing, and hunting. Keep Minnesota beautiful by wisely conserving our natural resources.

Progressive Democrats support:

1. Laws that protect the life of the mother. Education which is clear about what happens in abortion

2. Laws which encourage Gun Safety. Not “gun control”, but safety, and keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists.

Progressive Democrats use:

1. Grassroots campaign efforts

2. Issues based campaign methods
