A group of Individuals Versus a Team of Legends

Last year I wrote a blog about Tee Shirt wearers, in which I wrote about people who are in the movement for there own selfish ambitions.  Now I sit here and I see that we are a group of individuals working on our own projects and assignments rather than a team working on a singular purpose.

“We are not here to play dream or drift, we have hard work to do, and heavy loads to lift, shun not the struggle for it is God’s gift.

What is a Progressive?
What are Progressive issues? When you say the word Progressive what
images come to mind? The term
progressive comes from the late 19th and early 20th
Century when the vast changes brought by industrialization and as an
alternative both to the traditional conservative response to both social and
economic issues to the various more or less radical forms of Socialism.

Tee Shirt Wearers

This may be an odd topic for a progressive blog, but I have to get this off my chest. Sitting in my dorm room I am wondering why are things so hard. Why does it take so much effort to get things done on both grassroots and executive levels? Ideally we come in to this network of people with great ideas, knowledge, and energy and then where does it go. What happened to all the people who were down for the cause? All of those people who had your back giving you inspiration. Where did they go?

A movement where?

    I have heard this word movement in the last couple of weeks,
when a friend of mine and I were designing our blueprint(shameless plug Power @
the Polls) one of the quotes we were talking about is "Movin the
Movement", so that got me thinking about this movement I am in. Weeks later a friend of mine and co-intern at
the YP4 office held a brownbag lunch about the young progressive movement so
that got me to think even harder about this movement. Are we truly in a
movement? Maybe I'm alone in this and I apologize for this but I believe we are
in a fertile environment for a movement, but I think that there are too many
chefs and not enough cooks.
