Van Jones is a great guy - but I'm sorry to say that this, too, is long
on rhetoric and short on specifics. Who is going to do what to get 2
million people working in green jobs?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Grubb, Karen</b> <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:Karen.Grubb@fairmontstate.edu">Karen.Grubb@fairmontstate.edu</a>&gt;</span><br>

Right now, Green For All&#39;s President Van Jones is testifying before Congress at
a hearing on green jobs and the economic stimulus.</p>

<p><a href="http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&amp;c=qaCNpE%2Bc2yuayMHI6ygD09CRmH5gj8e7" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Read his testimony here</span></b></a>.<br>
<br>
At the hearing, Jones will dispel several myths about green jobs, and urge
Congress to &quot;move aggressively from inspiration to implementation&quot; -
starting with fully funding the Green Jobs Act.<br>
<br>
The hearing is held by the <i>Select Committee on Energy Independence and
Global Warming</i>, chaired by climate champion Rep. Ed Markey, and will focus
on creating jobs and stimulating the economy through renewable energy and
energy efficiency.<br>
