On the recordApril 21, 2010
I think both you and I see the merit that is brought forth by working through SEEC as a coalition to provide that green outspokenness and to work with our partners in government to make sure we respond to their, perhaps, district concerns or some of the efforts of folks to hold you back, to walk through that, talk through it, and policy through it. And we are visited today also by one of the co-chairs of that awesome coalition, Jay Inslee from the State of Washington, who is yet another outspoken voice for green thinking here in the House of Representatives. Welcome, Representative Inslee, to sort of bring us to a close on our hour of discussion about Earth Day tomorrow.
