Politics: "What is a Progressive?" Contest

With the radical conservative movement finally tanking, everybody and his uncle wants to be called a progressive. So the Campaign for America's Future has decided that it's time to define the term. If you had 30 seconds (roughly 100 words) to answer the question, "What is a Progressive?," what would you say? Come up with the winning essay, and you could win a trip for two to Washingto for Take Back America 2006 (June 12-14th), the year's largest gathering of, um, progressives.
