Congress passed President Bush's law, but the president has not kept up his side of the bargain, and the lack of funding for implementation has severely hampered the law's popularity and efficacy. Because the presidential election is in full swing, some analysts and commentators are now expressing skepticism about whether the law will be reauthorized this year.</p> <p>Important changes are surely needed to make the No Child Left Behind more effective, but the law has led to progress in improving achievement for all students, particularly low-income and minority children. Rather than scrapping the law entirely, President Bush and lawmakers should step up this year and commit to making it more effective.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/29818-school-daze-no-child-left-behind-ask-the-expert">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/23965-iranian-gunboats-harass-us-navy-cap-s-cirincione-on-cnn 2008-06-17T14:40:47Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ycxx0_6R7I4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ycxx0_6R7I4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/23965-iranian-gunboats-harass-us-navy-cap-s-cirincione-on-cnn"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/25962" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/02/iran_report.html</p> <p>Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Joseph Cirincione joined CNN to discuss reports that Iranian naval vessels harassed US Navy ships in the Straits of Hormuz.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/23965-iranian-gunboats-harass-us-navy-cap-s-cirincione-on-cnn">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/20813-bush-mortgage-bailout-too-little-too-late-for-too-few 2008-06-14T09:32:43Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0wiqXf-BrJw&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0wiqXf-BrJw&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/20813-bush-mortgage-bailout-too-little-too-late-for-too-few"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/20532" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/11/zero_hour.html</p> <p>Andrew Jakabovics of the Center for American Progress tells CNN that the Bush Adminstration's plan to freeze interest rates on some adjustable mortgage holders does too little, too late for too few people and won't help the people who need it most.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/20813-bush-mortgage-bailout-too-little-too-late-for-too-few">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/19884-a-new-economic-engine-energy-in-the-21st-century 2008-06-16T03:29:52Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w6IQESO_VLw&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w6IQESO_VLw&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/19884-a-new-economic-engine-energy-in-the-21st-century"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/19577" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/11/progressive_growth.html <br />The American Dream has been a story of progressive policy establishing conditions in which individuals have been able to seize opportunities and make a better life for themselves, their children, their families, and their communities.

Kennedy ignited America's Apollo Project and sparked a revolution in space exploration. Today the New Apollo Energy Project is poised to revolutionize the production of energy and thereby save our planet. The nation that built the world's most powerful rockets, its most advanced computers, and its most sophisticated life support systems is ready to create the world's most powerful solar energy systems, its most advanced wind energy turbines, and its most sophisticated hybrid cars. This will result in nothing less than a second American Revolution. Who are the dreamers in California who believe they can use mirrors and liquid metal to wring more electricity from a ray of sunshine than anyone else on earth can? <br />Who are the innovators who have built a contraption that can turn the energy of a simple wave off the Oregon coast into burnt toast in Idaho? Who are the scientists in Massachusetts who have invented a battery that now runs your hand drill and will soon run your car? Readers will meet them all in this book. They will learn how the new energy economy will grow, the research that is required, and the legislation that must be passed to make the vision a reality. </p> <p>This is a thoughtful, optimistic book, based on sound facts. No one before has tied together the concepts of economic growth and greenhouse gas reductions with such concrete examples. No one has previously told the real stories of the people who are right now on the front lines of the energy revolution. The co-authors, one a U.S. Congressman who is the primary sponsor of the New Apollo Energy Act, and the other the founder of the Apollo Alliance, have joined their experience, expertise, and passion for a clean energy future to lay out the path to stop global warming and gain energy independence.</p> <p>www.americanprogress.org <br />www.apollosfire.net</p> </div> <a href="/blog/17712-apollo-s-fire-igniting-america-s-clean-energy-economy">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/16007-the-global-common-good 2008-06-14T15:32:36Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sqbh1Mer6jM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sqbh1Mer6jM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/16007-the-global-common-good"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/15789" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/projects/commongood/</p> <p>When is war justified? Is the use of torture ever acceptable? Do we have a moral responsibility to intervene against atrocities thousands of miles away? These are some of the issues addressed in a new book by policy experts and faith leaders, published by the Center for American Progress. Pursuing the Global Common Good argues that U.S. foreign policy must go beyond preconceived notions of national self-interest and security by including our ethical obligations to the global community. Whether arguing against unjust wars or for our responsibility to lead against global warming, these essays dispel the faulty view that our national interests conflict with our ethical obligations. To the contrary, they make a strong case that we can do better by doing good because our nation's self-interest and its moral responsibilities are intertwined.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/16007-the-global-common-good">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/13185-america-in-the-world-america-the-middle-east 2008-06-11T21:30:12Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tSuK0bgfKtk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tSuK0bgfKtk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/13185-america-in-the-world-america-the-middle-east"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/13238" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Center for American Progress and The Century Foundation hosted the "America in the World" conference to explore how the United States can restore its leadership for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure world.
