This Brave Nation, part 1
June 1, 2008 by Dusty
This documentary is a joint effort of The Nation and Brave New Films. From the site This Brave Nation:
In any other profession, Carl Pope might be considered a “company man.” He has worked loyally and tirelessly in the name of the Sierra Club for thirty years, running the organization - the largest of its kind in the country - since 1992. Van Jones has founded several organizations within the last decade, including The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Green For All. They both live in the Bay Area. They both care intensely about saving the environment. The thing is, they use very distinct methods, although the lines differentiating those methods are blurring as we race further into the 21st century. From the environment to the economy, from old fashioned door-to-door fliers to streaming internet video, Pope and Jones discuss the myriad elements effecting our lives today and the many possible solutions that are nearly within reach.

I look forward to seeing this documentary. I hope it makes it to college campuses too….. lots of young adults feeling very disenchanted with the whole scene.
I have never heard of those guys and their efforts so thanks. When I look at all the relentless liberals accomplishments over 60 years, RFK, MLK, JFK, and everyone else and the fact that every single accomplishment along with FDR’s legacy has been derailed in one mis-Administration while the lines purposely blurred to confuse and hide the truth so a slimy so called hidden agenda can be followed to the demise of all of us and our America.
Jims last blog post..Too much shady positive Information on Iraq: Casualties way down, Australia pulling out victoriously, CIA has Al Qaeda on the run in Iraq, what?
the derailing of FDR’s efforts began with reagan and has continued unabated. we are going to have to fight to keep social security and medicare. medicare part D was designed to kill the entire program. we can’t let that happen and neither can we let these fuckers succeed in privatizing medicare. so much wrong, so little ability to effect change. it’s a recipe for madness.
