		Prior to the adoption of the Democratic Party label, it was known variously as the Progressive Party, Progressive Reform Party, and Progressive Federal Party.

	Apollo Alliance : Energizing the "Blue-Green" Movement
		Apollo Alliance Executive Director Bracken Hendricks said both the group's educational and political wings expect to be very active during the election.
		Although nominally a nonpartisan group, the alliance has focused extensively on the shortcomings of the Bush administration, releasing scathing reports on the Halliburton scandal and repeatedly criticizing both the White House and congressional Republicans on energy issues.
		Significantly, the issue also might give Democrats a prime opportunity to implement their catchall, "special interest" attacks against Bush, one of the areas where environmentalists may have their most significant impact on the race.

		Although the Democrats have regained a majority in both chambers, none of the incumbent Democratic Members or Senators who have consistently voted with Bush were unseated by more left-leaning challengers.
		It is my conviction that the Democrats will speak more forcefully against many Bush policies, but the rubber meets the road only when they bring these issues to the floor in the form of specific legislation and then vote on them.
		Democrats have little history of opposing a president of their own party, regardless of his/her fundamental political stance.

		Progressive Majority: Targeting smaller, more local races right down to school board, Progressive Majority is training and helping out the next generation of leaders in several key states as well as helping boost minority representation.
		Some real progressive grassroots activists helped some moderate Democrats win, and now that we have won, the progressives and moderates have to maintain respect for eachother.
		The only drawback to this great victory is that now the GOP has something to run against in 2008 (the Democratic congress) This makes me wonder whether with these results the Democrats have improved or reduced their odds of winning back the White House in '08.

	Fonte \| The Ideological War Within the West
		Transnational progressives insist that it is not enough to have proportional representation of minorities in major institutions if these institutions continue to reflect the worldview of the "dominant" culture.
		Transnational progressives have been altering the definition of "democracy" from that of a system of majority rule among equal citizens to one of power sharing among ethnic groups composed of both citizens and non-citizens.
		The global progressives have been aided—if not always consciously, certainly in objective terms—by a "transnational right." It was a determined Right-Left coalition led by libertarian Stuart Anderson, who currently holds Bach's old position at the INS, that killed a high-tech tracking system for foreign students that might have saved lives on September 11.

		Many supporters of presidential candidates Kucinich and Dean and other Progressives felt like their voices were not being heard by either major party, so held their own progressive "counter-convention".

		The DMK-led Democratic Progressive Alliance in Tamil Nadu had yesterday passed a two-part resolution to press both the Centre and the Karnataka government to release water for Tamil Nadu’s delta farmers.
		The DMK, the PMK and the MDMK were part of the National Democratic Alliance government in the last five years, but “never even lifted a finger to get Cauvery waters for Tamil Nadu”, she said.
		These attacks are all the more condemnable and reek of ingratitude, especially because the vast majority of the voters who have voted in favour of his alliance are Hindus,” she said.
