What if there was a way to solve the climate crisis and lift people out of poverty at the same time? Van Jones, founder of Green For All, believes that an investment in the creation of a green jobs movement will do both. Some folks in Memphis are jumping on board. Just over a year ago, Green For All hosted the Dream Reborn conference in Memphis, challenging us to take Martin Luther King's message to another level.
Since then Memphians have been coming together to figure out how we can make it work here. Give your input at greenjobsmemphis.blogspot.com. Read more about it in the Flyer.
The movement is building nationally, so if you didn't make it to DC for Obama's inauguration, you might consider a road trip to the Green Jobs national conference.
I would agree that extremist ineertst groups have too much influence right now, whether it is groups like Focus on the Family on the Republican side or Moveon.org on the Democrat side.The main thing your so pointedly ignorning in your attempts to string Bush up with Pat Robertson is that Robertson happens to have no actual power to make something like an assasination take place in the short run. Bush has no desire to change the law. Robertson has just spouted his mouth off.Also ignorning the UN isn't just Real Politik anymore, it's realistic politics. When is the last time the UN did something? When is the last time it took them less than a year to make a decision. Considering that the UN refuses to enforces its laws you are so concerned about on dictators like Saddam, what kind of power do those laws have on elected Presidents?
