Crime inc ~ Van Jones influenced ‘Green Jobs for all Act’ signed by George Bush

Van Jones was involved in getting legislation passed into law before Obama was POTUS.  The Energy bill signed into law in December of 2007 contained a portion of which was overtly influenced by Van Jones himself thro9ugh the Ella Baker Center, H.R. 2847, the Green Jobs Act of 2007.  @1:10 into the YouTube Video Isaiah J. Poole confirms this information

Part of the “Energy Independence Day” plan rolled out Thursday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was inspired by an Oakland pilot project that trains workers for jobs in renewable energy and energy-efficiency industries.

H.R. 2847, the Green Jobs Act of 2007, is modeled on the Green Jobs Corps created under the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights’ Reclaim the Future initiative. The House Education and Labor Committee passed the bill — authored by Rep. Hilda Solis, D-El Monte, and Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass. — on a 26-18 vote Wednesday.

Van Jones is the founder of the Ella Baker center.

Oakland’s Green Jobs Corps is a collaboration, coordinated through the Ella Baker Center, between community groups, unions, the city and private companies. It recruits participants who’ll be taught general life skills as well as technology-specific job skills before setting them up in temporary jobs and then helping them transition into permanent, independent work. Oakland City Council this month approved $250,000 in seed money for the corps.

Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer have been aware of Van Jones just like Valerie Jarret was.

The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi of California, described the bill as groundbreaking because it would reduce oil imports, cut production of the gases that scientists blame for global warming and significantly increase the efficiency of the nation’s auto fleet.

“You are present at a moment of change, of real change,” she told her House colleagues before the vote was taken.

Ms. Pelosi and other supporters of the bill expressed disappointment that it did not include a requirement that utilities produce a growing share of electric power from renewable sources and was stripped of a package of subsidies for wind, solar, geothermal and other alternative energy sources that would have been paid for by higher taxes on oil companies.

“It could have been stronger,” said Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California. “It’s really unfortunate that we didn’t have the renewable electricity standard or the incentives for wind and solar. But we’ll fight for those another day.”

It is apparent that Speaker Pelosi is a driving participant to the Fundamental Transformation of America into a Marxist state.  She was well versed with Van Jones and admired him and his works before this April 2007 Video was shot in celebration of the bill Bush signed into law in December of 2007.

In 2005, the center unveiled an initiative that would put it at the cutting edge of progressive activism: Reclaim the Future, a program aimed at ensuring that low-income and minority youth have access to the coming wave of “green-collar” jobs. It’s an idea that’s gaining traction and support, most notably from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who last month invited Jones to join her at a San Francisco press conference and make the case for a national Clean Energy Jobs Bill.
