Why is it important?

I started a petition a short time ago.  The only reason I would actually go through the trouble of writing a petition is if there was nothing else out there like it.  The issue I bring up is not one being talked about by most people.  I would say that it isn't being talked about by anyone but I have no way to know that for sure.  The point is, no one is making an issue of it, so I did.  My petition is about lowering the age of candidacy in congress to 18 years of age.  

Are we all progressives?

A progressive cannot be defined by which actions he/she supports on political issues.  A progressive is defined by which he/she seeks to achieve as a whole, that is, someone who seeks improvement or positive change.  If anyone says the world is perfect, or even that this nation is perfect, then they are highly misinformed and unaware of all the struggles, sufferings, and injustices currently happening and constantly occurring in our society.
