“This legislation is the first step in building a clean energy economy that creates jobs and moves us closer to solving our enormous energy and environmental challenges,” said Senator Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat and Senate Majority Leader. “We’ve talked about moving forward on these ideas for decades. The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them.”

Even Wikipedia makes it sound bad.

The founding board members of the Apollo Alliance are:

* Senator Maria Cantwell, US Congress (D-WA).

* Leo Gerard, International President of the United Steelworkers.

* Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr., US Congress (D-IL).

* Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.

The dirty secret in Congress has always been the fact that lobbyists, working with congressional staffers, actually write legislation, often years in advance of passage.

The commie piggies love to say that the Republicans sold the government to “Big business.” Well, the ‘RATS’ “Big business” buddies own it now. The Sierra Club? What a bunch of scumbags.

Additionally, Van Jones is a founding board member of the National Apollo Alliance and 1Sky, two national organizations promoting clean energy jobs and ...

At the same time, Van Jones’s group “Color of Change” has been leading a boycott of Beck trying to shut him down. The boycotters have gotten so desperate

Didn’t Apollo Alliance also write the Health care Bill.?

Why dont we just fire the Congress and let Apollo Alliance run the country? S/

Oops. Reid has gotten such a big head that he’s not even trying to hide the truth.

Veritas vos Liberabit.

Using Saul Alinsky’s rules against the Liberals is quite fun.

Don’t see anything here about Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground comrade. Can’t remember his name.
