At the core of every movement is a set of values. Filmmakers Edwin Rutsch and Joan Kuenz will lead a discussion on the question, "What are Progressive Values?" We'll go through some brainstorming exercises and discussions that will prepare you for being interviewed on the topic. You can tell your personal story of how those values became important to you.

Over the course of the conference, each attendee will have the opportunity to have their stories, thoughts and feelings video taped for a documentary about Progressive Values. For more see;

Sure Conservative ideas and policies have failed, but the failures go even deeper to the very heart and essence of the conservative movement, to their Failed Conservative Values. If we have time, in this session, we will also pull back the mask of Family Values, Traditional Values, individual freedom, individual responsibility, individual liberty, compassionate conservativism to the underlying Failed Conservative Values of fear, authoritarianism, secrecy, greed, Indifference, self righteousness, hypocrisy, etc.
