The meaning of the word "progressive" must include this aspect; otherwise it has been essentially co-opted by those who represent corporate and military-industrial interests; I fear that that is in effect the case in Champaign County. Unfortunately, true progressives have no serious choices in relation to the national offices that are being contested in our area.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: garamond, new york, times, serif; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; background-color:
