Progressive org starts new ad campaign: 'Progressive and proud of it'

The Center for American Progress has created four new ads that explain the progressive movement and what progressives stand for (see all four ads at thinkprogress.org).

In particular, the first two ads are very good and essentially follow Paul Waldman's advice to create a "progressive master narrative":

The conservative master narrative tells a story that begins in the 1960s, but this progressive master narrative crosses the scope of American history, seeing it as a continuous progression to realize the noble ideas on which the country was founded. It posits government as a force that, when it works properly, creates justice, security, and opportunity. The abolishment of slavery, the enfranchisement of women, the G.I. Bill, the creation of Social Security and Medicare, and the civil rights and environmental movements are all events driven by progressives that fit within this narrative.

Given these ads and Kos's recent comment in Newsweek that "Democrats believe government can be a resource for promoting the common good," I think Democrats and progressives are finally getting their act together and figuring out a coherent way to explain what we believe.
