"United for Jobs is a project of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Survival Committee and USA Next, a grassroots organization of the United Seniors Association."

from the United for Jobs website:
"ABOUT US
At no time in the last 150 years – through the great portion of America’s industrial age --has our air and water been cleaner. The wealth created by a free economy is producing health for its people by making pollution control measures more affordable.
But environmental policies don’t occur in a vacuum, and they are not without cost. Good policies will produce benefits commensurate or exceeding those costs. Bad policies not only can produce few benefits, but by taxing the economy may actually lead to a worsening natural environment.
This web site provides a one stop center for studies and analysis of environmental prescriptions affecting the economy and America’s well-being. By focusing on jobs, the coalition hopes to encourage citizens to decide for themselves whether the costs of proposed environmental regulations are worth their cost.
