We still need to have a progressive atitude so we don't lose the progress we have made. Civil rights need to be protected and expanded to immigrants, both legal and illegal, because it is unfair to withold certain opportunities from someone just because they were born on the wrong side of a man-made line. We should allow free movement to this "free"country. Also, th environmnt needs to be protected more than ever. Creation of jobs doesn't really matter if the earth is ruined and we don't have a place to work. I think we should legalize marijuana because we allow smoking and alcohol, which both have certain dangers Other countries need to have progressive movements too. 1

I agree with you that we need to keep moving forward. If we dont keep moving forward we will not keep up with countries like china and brazil. I also agree with you that we need to protect the enviroment because we need the earth to stay alive. I think we should legalize marijuana too because the goverment could tax it heavily and make money off of it. I belive that we can start to repeal some progressive era reforms to start getting jobs for more people but at the same time i think that we need to protect certain things like civil rights and the environment. We can gain many more jobs by taking away some small reforms and we need to gain jobs in the world. It doesnt help that there is an overwhelming population in the world to fill with jobs. 3

I think we should still be progressing, but we should still keep a few things the same. We should still protect the enviroment and still keep costumer protection, even if it means less jobs are being created and less bussinesses are growing. Civil rights should be expanded so all citizens and immigrants of the US are protected since this country is viewed as a free country by others. There are more rights in our country than in others and if we have less civil rights for eveyone here, problems would arise. Also, for moral crimes like casual drug use and prostitution, it is those people's choice to do those things and even though the "crimes" are illegal, people still will continue to do them. So what is the point of keeping those "crimes" illegal? Side: issues
I feel that we also, as a working mother, need to moe forward. We can't just stay in the past. I can just see the bright and hopefull future for us. Better equipment, working wages, homes, communication, transportation, you name it. The end of this broken road will one day be rebuild and restored. But there will still be conflict within our exsistance. We have to look for better alternitives and see the otherside of the world. If not, its ok. We all have to die at some point. I also will say that we have made it far enough to make a living and go against the odds of the business owners. We try, and yet fail each and everyday. Most days though, we fight for our lives. If we didn't fight for ourselves in this life, then why are we still here? People, we have to look into our faith, hopes, dreams, and lives. Take away the bad and conclude the good we all have done. Let's help each other so we can be a better world. Side: issues

No because some of those things should be kept safe. We should also move forward not backward. We should also keep the environment safe, and should not have the swamps and marshes paved over. I also think the president should make public jobs not government jobs. I also think that we should make the giant electrical fence on the Mexico border, so they have to go through the border portal.

We need to keep the laws protecting the envirnment so we don't destroy our Earth We need to keep consumer protections because it's not right if business owner abuse the consumers. We should legalize marijawana and prostitution because it produces business and profits and its the peopels decision if they want to do that to their body. Smoking cigaretts is already legal and it also damages your body. Side: issues

i think we need to keep the progressive movement going because we have a lot of progress made and we cant afford to get pushed back. i also think the environment needs to be protected because if we keep going how were going we wont have an environment in a while. Side: issues

Unions are still needed so that workers have the rights that will keep them safe and treated fairly.
The enviorment is important because of the food chain. Every animal is important to the food chain and if some animals are gone then other animals would have anything to eat. Side: issues
I believe that there are certain parts that need to be repealed but other parts do not. Unions are still needed today because they help keep people from losing their jobs, no matter if they are in the unions or not. Civil rights need to be progressed because as time goes on, more groups of people move to the U.S but are not given the same rights as everything else, which should be changed. As a country we need to protect our enviornment because people need animal's meat to survive but without a stable enviornemt the animals will die causing a horrible ripple effect on the rest of the nation. We still need consumer protection because without that, people will not worry about the quality of the products that go out, and wether they will be safe for people to use or not. We should not legalize prostutution or drugs, they are harmful to people, and prostitution is not moral. Side: issues
I believe that we need to be progressive. for one marijuana is a plant with herbal characteristics and like many herbs they all have different ways to get rid of illness, stress relief and tons of other things. its the hemp thing all over again. i can understand it being a medical herb but not an illegal drug. and for 2 the environment should be taken care of! the earth is a living organism like all of us and she needs as much attention as all of us when we're sick and such (yes i called earth a her dont judge). every living creature has a role they play in this world and if that creature is extinct the eco system will slowly go down hill. we need to pay attention the unbalanced global problems and make them balanced!

Without a progessive attitude and way of thinking, we would lose what we have made progress on already. It would be like starting a research project online and you find all these great websites and you ll of a sudden no longer feel like doing it. Now that you stopped your progressive outlook on the project and took a long break, you have lost most of what you already learned and must go back a find those websites and resources over agian. If we start losing track of what we have been doing and focus on other things like business or economy (which are equally important) we may lose sight of our morals and beliefs. As a conservative beliefs and tradition are very important to me. But, at the same time I do agree that we must not stick in the past and move forward but we cant leave our past entirely or again, we would lose sight of what we are looking for as a country Side: issues

I think that we should remain Conservative. The way that people should think about being progressive, is that there is always people not abiding by the laws. Prostitution should have to go, because it is morally not right to make women do those kinds of things. Marijuana should be totally banned from this country, the way that people use it is just so wrong. The companies and factories were the worst thing because they were just so wrong to treat all of their workers like that. Side: issues
I believe we should still continue to progress, but we shouldn't reach a point where we think we have advanced ahead of other countries. Right now we need to think of helping those who don't have jobs and settling our debt. We need to fix the situatuion we are in now before we try to do anything else, otherwise we'll think we have made progress, but in reality we haven't. Side: issues
There is good good progession and there is bad. I think that progression should be towards what is suppose to be freedom not putting it more towards socialsim and communism. Many countries have had this and are socialist or communist, and they are not in very good standing right now. Don't try to change things that don't need to be changed. It should be towards our rights and not adding bills that make us all a country that is like a baby that is super dependent on its mother government. Side: issues

America is fine as it is. There is now way that America needs to change about it's business/ economics or other things that need to be changed. Mexico needs to change because the country itself is pretty much abused of drugs or stolen army. Mexico has modern Rabor Barons and the workers are getting screwed by my point of view. Side: issues

I am leaning more toward the conservative side, although it is hard to go directly one way with such a controversial topic, conservative vs. liberal. The conservatives are for: Traditional family values and the sanctity of marriage, small non-invasive government, and a strong national defense focused on protection and the fight against terrorism. I agree with all of these, but the right of protection of every living human, which I believe we shouldn't protect illegal immigrants. Side: issues
