	Vermont Progressive Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanders, who has never been officially associated with the Progressive Party, was later elected to the United States Congress, where he still serves, as an independent (although he is a member of Democratic Socialists of America and generally accorded the privileges of a member of the Democratic caucus).
		One of the party's top officials, Anthony Pollina, told the press he didn't intend to be influenced by such issues and one elected official, Rep. David Zuckerman, is exploring a run for Sanders' seat in Congress (Ross Sneyd, Progressives say no deals on 2006 elections, Associated Press, 5/12/2005).
		The center of this political party is social, economic, and environmental justice and sustainability while protecting minority and individual rights and opportunities.

		Vermont Governor Howard Dean is a fiscal conservative who's for gay civil unions, against the Bush tax cuts and running for president as the health-care candidate.
		Never mind that Vermont is famously mountainous ski country; the fact remains that Dean, who opted not to seek re-election this November after serving five terms as governor, is busily tilling the plains of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and other early primary states.
		First of all, despite Vermont's reputation as perhaps America's most liberal state, Dean is at pains to make it clear that he's not one of the flakes that cascade from the skies during Vermont winters.

		Vermont: H 675 would specify more detailed organizational requirements for minor parties, and would force them to begin their caucus meetings no later than mid-October of the year before the election.
		Vermont, like most states, permits candidates who use the independent petition procedure to choose a partisan label, which is placed on the November ballot next to the candidates' names; this is how the Progressive Coalition has been operating.

	Progressive, The: An old-style centrist - The Word Washington - Howard Dean - Brief Article
		Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont, is fond of saying he is running for President "from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party"--a direct quote from the late progressive Senator Paul Wellstone.
		He considers himself a moderate, and he has often crossed swords with Vermont progressives--including a challenger from the state's Progressive Party who won 10 percent of the vote in the last gubernatorial election.
		Environmentalists in Vermont faulted Dean for weak enforcement and for policies that favored large factory farms, as well as for his position in favor of Yucca Mountain as the single repository for nuclear waste in the country--a position that put him at odds with then-Republican Senator Jim Jeffords.

		From the standpoint of Vermont’s left wing Progressive Party, the 2003 session ought to have been a modest victory.
		For a party dedicated to bigger government, the redistribution of wealth, more state control of business, more power for labor unions, and less economic freedom, the glass was surely more than half full.
		It’s Vermonters who believe in lower taxes, limited government, and economic opportunity who ought to be weeping.
