Down in comments from the previous post, esteemed reader raison da femme cited some individuals from the glorious past of progressivism. While less fire-breathing, this quote from over the weekend is worthy of note to prove that traditions are not entirely dead.

Your only clue is that the quote comes from the Clinton (IA) Herald. Of course, clicking on the link would be cheating!

"I need your help. Everybody here has to believe in our government," [?] said. "The most important office in the land is the office of citizen. If you aren't involved, then politicians will misbehave on both sides. They get sloppy, they get lazy, special interests start making advances. Only when you decide not only to register, not only to vote, but to stay informed, get your neighbors involved, focus on the issues that all of us face, will we be able not only to inherit this world from our parents, but also understand that we're borrowing it from our children. And we've got a committment to give them a world that's just a little bit better than the one we've got."

Winner gets a deep sense of personal satisfaction and one (1) e-lollipop. You may begin.....now.
