As we approach the 2008 election, America is poised to make big changes in the way we’re governed. The crisis in the economy and the failures of the Bush administration have left people looking for a way to turn America around, and if a new report is correct, they’ll start at the polls this fall.

Progressives Rising—2008: A Sea-Change Election was assembled by the Campaign for America’ Future. The organization is presenting the report in conjunction with next week’s Take Back America 2008 conference

Campaign for America’s Future Co-Director Robert Borosage says the key to making the most of this moment isn’t just winning the election, but in making sure political leaders follow through on their promises and enact progressive policies.

Progressives have to organize and drive issues into the debate. We have a chance to elect people with a progressive agenda and hold them accountable once elected.

The public is more dissatisfied with the direction of the country than they’ve been in decades because of the nation’s mismanagement at the hands of the Bush machine, Borosage said. The economy isn’t working for most people, and working families are feeling the pinch in their paychecks, their health care and their mortgages.
