Dear Friend,
In recent days Apollo has continued to gain more important champions...Read On....
America needs an economic policy that puts people to work, investing in good jobs and rebuilding our competitive industrial base, not policies that rewards big business at the expense of working Americans. Last week, President Bush aggressively defended his economic policies of tax cuts that move investment capital off shore. While Bush claims that his economic policies will stimulate the economy and create new jobs, in reality the Bush economic team has nothing to brag about.
With 3 million jobs lost since President Bush took office, and 7 million jobs short of expectations, the American people need a better vision for the economy. A new Apollo Project is a critical piece of a better economic policy for America. Meeting the challenge of energy independence will create new investment and jobs that last.
In a major policy address, Senator Hillary Clinton recently told an audience in Washington, DC and called for a major investment in smart energy technologies similar to a "Manhattan" or "Apollo" projects. Stating, "There is no reason that the United States cannot and should not be the leader in smart energy technology," Senator Clinton called for a new Apollo Project as a chance to restore America's can-do spirit as well as good jobs.

At the same time, noted author and labor analyst Neal Peirce in his syndicated column called Apollo "an equation for hope" that it will create "unexportable jobs" by focusing on reconstructing our infrastructure to meet new economic and social challenges. To read Peirce's article, click here.
