Progressives Say American Dream Movement Rivals Tea Party

As Americans face the economic fallout of the recent debt deal in Washington, members of the burgeoning American Dream Movement on Tuesday announced the Contract for the American Dream, a new agenda for economic recovery supported by a grassroots movement that progressive leaders say will rival the Tea Party in size and impact.

The contract is a list of ten sweeping policy proposals drawn from suggestions made by 131,203 Americans who gathered online and in neighborhood meetings to discuss solutions to the nation's economic woes. The contract demands what Democrats conceded in the recent debt deal: investment in jobs, education and infrastructure and higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

Tea Party represents most of America. Progressives only about 20 to 25% are that stupid. Unless they of course count all the illegal aliens.

Tea Party does not represent most of America, it doesn't even represent most of the Republican party.
Tea Party reprsents misinformed loons and rednecks.
