Progressive Kick

Who We Are

  • We are an organization of pragmatic progressives, dedicated to construction of a society that values the needs/rights/responsibilities of all of its members-from the most powerful to the least. Since the most powerful are already being taken care of, our capacity building focuses on the rest of us.

Why We're Kicking Around

  • No single institution in the world has as much power and influence over people's lives as the United States Congress, except perhaps the American Presidency. The President of the United States is subject to tremendous scrutiny. But many people don't actually know what activities our Congressional representatives (as well as state legislators) engage in-allegedly in our name. So we have chosen to illuminate the murky and often completely opaque behavior of these lawmakers-both within the US Congress and on a State level.

What We Do

   Our activities include:
  • Spotlighting the betrayal of citizens' interests by elected office holders on both the Congressional and State levels with the idea of informing & capacitating citizens to make more intelligent decisions about their relationship with their Federal and respective State governments.
  • Exploring 21st Century Technologies for use as innovative new tools, we reach people who are often not reached by conventional messaging technologies &/or reach people in more cost effective ways.

How We Do It

  • Understanding people from a firm grounding in the political demographic terrain of the United States. We possess detailed data down to the State Legislative district level around the USA and are developing more all the time.
  • Identifying areas where a significant discrepancy exists between the voting record of a Member of Congress and the desires of his/her constituents, by accessing the most encompassing searchable database of Congressional voting records extant.
  • Mounting issue education efforts, which we infuse with both the political demographic data that we possess and our knowledge of individual lawmakers.
  • Pioneering new ways of reaching people, we use a variety of 21st century communications technologies to bring messages to people who otherwise wouldn't receive conventional political messaging at all (don't watch broadcast television/don't have land-line telephones/aren't English speakers etc) as well as those who would otherwise tune out conventionally delivered messages.
  • Engaging with citizens in exciting ways on issues that are important to them, using all of our different tools and expertise.
