Poll question: I f Liberalism had a Motto, what would it be?
Obviously one can't encompess all of the Libral/Progressive movement into a single slogan.

But lets try anyway!

So which sums up as best it can the underlying principles of being as Liberal/progressive.

Feel free to add your own

4. We need to...
...encompass all of the Progressive movement into a single statement. We need to be able to sum up our identity in one sentence. Check out the Framing The Debate forum to help.

6. Voted for ":If it's broke fix it!" because it covers the most ground
without being so vague as to say nothing. I think it sums it up as well as any catchy phrase can.

7. But one of our problems is being too reactive.
We need to be pro-active, and put the Radical RW on the defense.

9. Equality of Opportunity on a Level Playing Field or We're all Better Off..
...when we're all Better Off.

I think when we all have an equal oppotunity and the game isn't rigged in favor of some people, that creates the maximum wealth and happiness, and that wealth and happiness is distributed in a really just and equitable manner.
