Center for American Progress Launches Progressive Ads

Created by DavidP on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 07:52 PM

The Center for American Progress, in conjunction with the Glaser Progress Foundation, recently launched a multiyear effort to increase public understanding of what it means to be a progressive given our nation's history and the challenges we face today.

The first part of the campaign involves a pilot experiment to begin defining progressivism in the public's mind through a series of distinct advertisements that explain the progressive movement's core values and policy ideas, its historical accomplishments, and its philosophical differences with conservatives.

I have embedded what I believe to be the most affective ad. The others can be seen in the included link.

Health *care*, not insurance

Dear DavidP,

I really enjoyed watching the videos and passed them on to friends. I have one comment on the framing.

I would prefer to hear them say "health care for all", rather than talk about insurance. Being based on denial of coverage, health insurance is the opposite of health care.

Regards,

Luis.

great

i love these adverts they are brilliant.

We should do a similar thing here in Australia.
