Contest: Define the Liberal Agenda

From Tapped, the blog of The American Prospect online:

DEFINING THE LIBERAL AGENDA. With George W. Bush back on the steps of the Capitol for a second term, many liberals have decided that there's something we're fundamentally just not getting. Maybe it's something about our politics; maybe it's something about the way we communicate them. Either way, we often find ourselves incapable of expressing what we believe in a simple, accessible fashion.

So we want it brought back to the basics. The Prospect is hosting a contest to define the liberal ideology. Make it simple: In no more than 30 words, tell us what liberalism stands for. There's a reason you care about politics and a reason you read The American Prospect; what do you want to see accomplished in and by this great country? It may seem like a lot to fit into 30 words -- or it may be more straightforward than you think.

More details about the contest can be found here, and you can enter by emailing us. We'll post some of the best responses we receive over the next few weeks, and pick a winner in February (who will receive exciting prizes!). Enter early and, heck, if you've got a lot to say -- enter often.
