Welcome!

Hello! My name is Ashley, and I'm a 31-yr.-old adjunct English instructor at Olney Central College (Olney, Ill.). I'm also actively working on my M.A. degree in English (literary studies (specifically, 19th-century American lit.)/composition & rhetoric concentration) at EIU (Eastern Illinois University-- Charleston, Ill.). In addition, I am tremendously interested and active in progressive politics. The primary goal of this blog is to encourage passionate progressives to use communication, intelligent discourse, and intense political research in order to regain our rightful power on the American political scene. Perhaps more importantly, it is time for we progressives to "incite" a Peaceful (read: ideological, metaphysical, spiritual) American Revolution. That being said, let's get it started!
