Toward a New Progressivism, Part 2

We progressives will need a slogan to rally around, something more clever when compared to the dead mantras of the old guard. Here are some options:

Money Isn't Everything!

Spread the Wealth, Spread the Health!

It's the Sustainable Economy, Stupid!

What Will the Conservatives Have Left to Conserve, Once the Earth Burns Away?

I am not a good enough writer to make the one slogan that will win our struggle for social justice, sustainable ecology, sustainable economics, well funded schools, and a sane climate policy.

However, I do know, despite the rightwing, that we need something better than "Stop the War" or "Bring the Troops Home" or "Impeach Bush."

We need a positive message. Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't just bring Americans freedom from fear and fear itself. He had to articulate that goal in words:FREEEDOM FROM FEAR!

When you think about it, maybe Franklin Delano Roosevelt already had the perfect slogan for us, after all these years, after all.
