With short-memories and even shorter attention spans to read and understand the issues and comprehend what is happening in this country, I'm afraid the American people will vote more Progressives into office this November and again in 2012.

Progressives come in many shapes and sizes and with many different labels. Whether under the banner of Democrat or Republican, we have to make our best attempt to learn about the candidates' past, present and goals for the future of this country. Learn about what groups support the candidates.

For instance, who supports the Progressive agenda and Obama? I don't agree with the goal or platform of the supporters of the Progressives. The Communist Party USA, the LGBT, SEIU, AFL-CIO, The Open Society Institute, the Progressive Democrats of America, the Congressional Progressive Caucus..what are their beliefs and goals?

The issue, to me at least, isn't Republican or Democrat.

How much more control and freedoms are we willing to give up to the federal government? Obama has an agenda that is spelled out. Do you know what his goals are for these issues? Do you know who will pick up the torch and carry through with this agenda if Obama isn't re-elected?
