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?

Karen, http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cofjoCbx5tViac48u%2FVlGdCRmH5gj8e7http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cofjoCbx5tViac48u%2FVlGdCRmH5gj8e7http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cofjoCbx5tViac48u%2FVlGdCRmH5gj8e7 Right now, Green For All's President Van Jones is testifying before Congress at a hearing on green jobs and the economic stimulus.

*Read his testimony here*http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qaCNpE%2Bc2yuayMHI6ygD09CRmH5gj8e7 .

At the hearing, Jones will dispel several myths about green jobs, and urge Congress to "move aggressively from inspiration to implementation" - starting with fully funding the Green Jobs Act.

The hearing is held by the *Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming*, chaired by climate champion Rep. Ed Markey, and will focus on creating jobs and stimulating the economy through renewable energy and energy efficiency.
