  I think we're best off focusing our energies on the local, and letting it bubble up to the national, when possible. We simply cannot compete with one dollar-one vote so no use wasting all our emotional, psychic and spiritual energy there.

  According to my calculations there is $112 billion in green stimulus funding out of our $787 billion "stimulus" bill. Of course it's all borrowed debt from Fed Reserve Banks and foreign countries... but better some green than none!

  This means that 1/4 of the world's green stimulus funding is directly US-based.

  good points in your comment. Politicians are generally followers, not leaders. By following polls, you are a follower, not a leader. That's built-in.

  Terry Tamminen, Arnold's old environment advisor and author of Lives Per Gallon, shouldn't be forgotten either.
