The People Speak: Van Jones Resigns
Van Jones, who called Republicans a**-holes and signed a petition that said the government let 9/11 happen, was forced out by the protests from the people. Maybe Congress will be brave and do their duty and investigate all the Czars.

Well if the people have spoken than the people really don't deserve the freedoms and laws protecting the environment that they have today, let the people continue to speak like this and Obama won't be re-elected and Republicans will rule again like they have for the last 30 years destroying all the social progress that was made between 1945 and 1980, i.e., the social progress that's still there despite the recent massive destruction under Bush and Cheney, if Obama loses in 2012 he's really going to regret giving in to the right like he did with Van Jones who was an excellent choice to fight for the environment and he will deserve his loss perhaps!
The following is from wikipedia
Anthony "Van" Jones (born September 20, 1968) is an environmental advocate, civil rights activist, attorney, and author who served from March 16[1] to September 5,[2] 2009 as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in the United States.
Jones founded the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in 1996, a California non-governmental organization (NGO) working for alternatives to violence. In 2005, Jones co-founded Color of Change, an advocacy group for African Americans.[3] Formerly based in Oakland, California, Jones founded Green For All in 2007, a national NGO dedicated to "building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty."[4] His first book, The Green Collar Economy, was released on October 7, 2008, and reached number 12 on the New York Times Best Seller list.[5] In 2008, Time magazine named Jones one of its "Environmental Heroes".[6] Fast Company called him one of the "12 Most Creative Minds of 2008".[7]
He was appointed by President Barack Obama in March 2009, to the newly-created position on the White House Council on Environmental Quality, where he worked with various "agencies and departments to advance the administration's climate and energy initiatives, with a special focus on improving vulnerable communities."[8] In July 2009 he became "embroiled in controversy"[9] over past political activities, public comments about Republicans, and signing a petition for 911Truth.org.[10] He resigned from the position in early September.[11]
Van Jones is a really good person doing amazing work to make America a better place, and fascists like Beck destroy him by only talking about his controversial actions like wanting to know the truth behind 9/11. It amazes me you support this evil person Beck who has never done anything except try to brainwash sheep brains into promoting fascism in America
