California State Senate candidate Sandra Fluke is offering a fellowship position to help her spread “progressive values”:
Do you share my passion for putting our progressive values to work? Join my campaign as a summer fellow. http://t.co/fT6ClBec7G

Many believe that “putting progressive values to work” is either part of the problem, an oxymoron, or a little of both:
They don't work "@SandraFluke: Do you share my passion for putting our progressive values to work?

@AmyOtto8 @SandraFluke @JayCaruso I tend not to use "progressive" and "values" together. It's extremely misleading.

@SandraFluke Do you share my passion for putting our progressive values to work?
–> When Sandy uses the word "share" I clutch my wallet.

@exjon @SandraFluke Put progressive values to work, where others work to fund your values.

@exjon @NumbersMuncher @SandraFluke "Fellow" is #WarOnWomen sort of language. So patriarchal.

@SandraFluke your progressive values have been at work for 6 years. …they're a disaster

Fluke’s listing mentions nothing of pay in return for working to spread “progressive values,” just a couple of which are lobbying for a national minimum wage of $10.10 and demanding employer-provided “free” birth control.
Fluke’s fellowship would offer at least that much, right? Unless “hypocrisy” is a “progressive value”:
"Fellow" is progressive for "work for free." MT @SandraFluke Share my passion for progressive values? Join my campaign as a summer fellow.

Fluke received a generous offer to live among true “progressive values”:
@SandraFluke Cuba has progressive values … why not move there … I'll help you pack.
