Bush Legacy Tour

The failures of President Bush and his conservative allies have undoubtedly set our country back. But during times of crisis in our country, bold, progressive leadership has always put our country back on the right track.

We can end the war in Iraq and bring our brave troops home.

We can rebuild the Gulf Coast and give people a better life than before the storm hit.

We can bounce back from our recession with an economy that helps every American – not just the very richest.

We can ensure that health care is a right, not a privilege.

We can fund an education system that truly leaves no child behind.

We can take the first steps to slow climate change, and restore our commitment to cleaner air and water.

And we can make sure that every worker can fight for the American Dream at their job – and organize for higher pay, better benefits, and stronger retirement security.

As progressives, we believe America is a land of boundless opportunity, where people can better themselves, their children, their families, and their communities through education, hard work, and the freedom to climb the ladder of economic mobility.

We believe an open and effective government can champion the common good over narrow self-interest, harness the strength of our diversity, and secure the rights and safety of its people.

And we believe our nation must always be a beacon of hope and strength to the rest of the world.

Progressives are idealistic enough to believe change is possible and practical enough to make it happen. America at its best – that’s progressive.
