I was able to connect this link and make it work. Below is another link which might do even better which goes?right to Van Jones' Ella Baker Center and to the Green Jobs bill.

Please spread the word! Give green-collar jobs the green light! Email Now <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2gK6uiy%2F3KLjcwOg5LTl rpzNVp8A6Z5E> Something unusual is happening in Washington. Legislation that will create "green pathways out of poverty" while fighting global warming is poised to pass through Congress. And we need your help <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qiTV5VTaSNTQxM9mG2EWt5 zNVp8A6Z5E> to make sure this groundbreaking bill gets the green light from Congress. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the revolutionary Green Jobs Act of 2007. This bill will provide millions of dollars for "green-collar" job training nationwide. Focused on the clean and renewable energy sectors, these jobs will help fight both pollution and poverty at the same time. You can help make history -- please ask your representative to vote in favor of the Green Jobs Act of 2007 (HR 2847). It really makes a difference when representatives in DC hear from people like you, so make your voice heard before next week's vote!

This unique program will help young adults with barriers to employment get good jobs in the emerging green economy. We've also been working "inside the beltway" in DC to establish funding for a national green-collar job-training program. If passed, this bill would provide $125 million every year for greening the nation's workforce, including $25 million per year specifically for programs that provide "pathways out of poverty." This funding will allow programs modeled after the Oakland Green Jobs Corps to proliferate in cities across the country! After passing through the House Education and Labor Committee last month, the fate of the bill lies with the full House of Representatives when they vote this week. Can you ask your representative to support the Green Jobs Act of 2007? We've created a web page to make it easy for you: http://www.ellabakercenter.org/page.php?pageid=82&contentid=289 <http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8%2FoFFwH951rAzwiOj%2B %2BrsZzNVp8A6Z5E> The Green Jobs Act of 2007, sponsored by Representatives Hilda Solis (D-CA) and John Tierney (D-MA), is a monumental first step in transforming the U.S. economy into one that supports both the planet and its people. Big thanks go to The Workforce Alliance, the national Apollo Alliance, and the Center for American Progress for playing central roles in creating the legislation. Special acknowledgement should go to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for supporting the idea of a green jobs bill from the very beginning. And our friend Rep. Hilda Solis has been an incredible champion for the bill. Last but certainly not least, thank YOU for adding to the incredible momentum of the green jobs movement. We're honored to work with you during this critical moment in history. Sincerely, Van Jones and Ian Kim Ella Baker Center for Human Rights P.S.
