The other vision, the progressive one, believes in an American Dream that works for all people, regardless of their racial, religious, or economic background.

This progressive vision was on full display yesterday during a vigil led by Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) that halted, for now, the foreclosure of a cancer victim's home. For months, Bonita, California resident Luz Maria Villanueva had been facing impending foreclosure on her home by Union Bank. Villanueva's situation was especially dire due to the fact that her son has a kidney disease as well as cancer. As medical bills began to pile up, Villanueva had to choose between the life of her son and her home, and she chose her son.

The fate of Villanueva's home is still up in the air, as Union Bank has promised to continue negotiations with her and Filner. For his part, the congressman hopes that other communities and their legislators fight to help their neighbor's keep their homes. "I hope this spreads across America," he said at the vigil yesterday.

Blame the needy, forgive the wealthy.
