Description

BURLINGTON AREA PROGRESSIVES -- COMMON SENSE FOR THE COMMON GOOD.(tm)

Burlington Area Progressives is a non-profit, non-partisan group. Our mission is to inform, unify, and mobilize area citizens on local, state, and national issues.

A progressive is someone who believes in the betterment of society through progress. A progressive takes the best ideas from the past, updates them to the present, and uses them to create a better future. Progressives are concerned with freedom, social justice, education, health care, ecology, and voting rights -- among many other issues. Progressives believe that a rising tide should lift all boats. Unfortunately, the current tide seems to be lifting only a privileged few.

We believe that working together, we can turn back the tide of ignorance and oppression threatening our country and return America to the progressive values on which the country was founded -- values which made the United States a beacon of home and freedom for the entire world.

Re: IRV vs Fusion election systems
So Chris, we should just all get along? I can see why you would not like IRV. It could nullify your party. That's bad. And oh, see the first link at

Re: IRV vs Fusion election systems
Clearly not 100% of our politicians are corrupt, but easily 90% of the ones at the top are. When you have a cesspool it is difficult to separate the clean
