If BlueGreen Alliance was really green, instead of what looks like a greenwashing organization, it would join Ecowatch in calling for people to contact Obama to ask him to ban fracking and kill Keystone XL.
Wikipedia describes greenwashing:
"(a compound word modelled on "whitewash"), or "green sheen,"[1][2] is a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization's products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly."
As it is, BlueGreen Alliance looks about as smart and on target as the Nobel Prize committee was, awarding Obama the Nobel Peace Prize .
Frankly, the way BlueGreen Alliance sees Jerry Brown and Barack Obama, it places the members of the alliance under suspicion.
