What do Garage Sales ,Flea Markets. and E-bay all have in common?

Asheville Progressive Posted on February 5, 2011 by adminFebruary 20, 2011

My daughter Bonnie gave me this site and I’ll pass it along. Sometimes you just can not afford to buy new American made products. Attending garage sales, flea markets and E-bay can also help your community. Money you spend in your own neighborhood goes around about 5 times. This would be a great time to clean out the garage and basement for a sale. If you do not need the … Continue reading →

Rebooting America A Must reading!

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 28, 2011 by adminJanuary 29, 2011

Thom Hartmann gives an excellent example of how Co-ops might give us hope to solve our industrial problem. Given our current lack of ability to attract venture capitol, by spreading the liability over a greater number of people as a Co-ops , gives us hope for raising money to restart industry. The ability of Co-ops to select strong managers because of their board’s close contact and understanding of conditions, will … Continue reading →

Why buy at home?

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 24, 2011 by adminMarch 19, 2011

When we shop and buy locally, we are helping to support our neighbors.  Shopping at the local farmer’s market is a great experience.

We have an opportunity to buy many items of clothing and footwear made in the USA.  As I … Continue reading →

What is a progressive?

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 21, 2011 by adminJanuary 24, 2011

When we chose to use “progressive” in this web site it was to attract a certain type of reader.  We were looking for readers who wanted a point of view.  We want people who are searching for the truth and are willing to read new information. My experience leads me to believe that good decisions come about as more information is digested. As we accumulate new information, we may even … Continue reading →

HOW TO START A CO-OP!

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 11, 2011 by adminJanuary 23, 2011

If a group of individuals have an idea which needs capitol, organizing a Co-op may be helpful. For example: you know how to fabricate a product which might be useful to the community, like shoes or storage sheds, but a building, machinery, materials and labor are needed.   I realize there are other ways to raise venture capitol, but raising capitol  has become difficult and maybe a small group of … Continue reading →

Change Marijuana Laws

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 4, 2011 by adminMarch 20, 2011

The costs of the current laws on Marijuana are causing many problems. Many people would like it regulated and taxed. Some of our border troubles are blamed on constant pressure to supply Marijuana to an ever growing US market. What do you think? http://www.justsaynow.firedoglake.com
