Bakersfield Progressive Action Network

Bakersfield, CA bakproactnet@yahoo.com

 

 

Dedicated to leading Bakersfield out of the clutches of conservatism and into the 21st century

 

The Bakersfield Progressive Action Network is an alliance of liberal and other left-leaning people in Bakersfield and the surrounding areas united in their beliefs in the fundamentals of liberal political philosophy: democracy, freedom, and social progress. We reject the conservative philosophies that have dominated Bakersfield's political system for decades and reject the notion that change can not happen in this "too conservative" county. We welcome everyone, regardless of political affiliation, who is tired of the status quo.

The Miniature Earth

"You see, we should make use of the forces of nature and should obtain all our power in this way. Sunshine is a form of energy, wind and sea currents are manifestations of this energy. Do we make use of them? Oh, no! We burn forests and coal like tenants burning down our front door for heating. We live like wild settlers and not as though these resources belong to us."

-- Thomas A. Edison
