Due to pressure from outside forces led by Glenn Beck actually fighting against an organization and a boycotting campaign he has nothing to do with Van Jones has resigned as President Obama's Green Czar. I think it is very sad that Van Jones has stepped down. He did the honorable thing and put his President and country before himself as not to make himself a unneeded distraction. I wonder if Glenn Beck will do the honorable thing and resign in order to restore any credibility Fox News has left? Read about this story here: http://www.letstalkhonestly.com/blacknewsb...

Now on this, we need to look hard, and I am not going to hold back.
Let's take 9/11. I have read Jeremiah Wright's sermon and it is RIGHT ON. Now Obama backed away from that didn't he?
This guy is associated with colorofchange, questions 9/11, now steps down "for the good of the country"? HA! Where have we heard that BULL**** before? Obama asked for his resignation!

Who is Van Jones?
Van Jones is a globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in human rights and the clean energy economy. He is a 1993 graduate of the Yale Law School and an attorney.
Van wrote the definitive book on "green jobs": The Green Collar Economy. In 2008 — thanks to a low-cost, viral marketing campaign — his book became an instant New York Times bestseller. It is today being translated into six languages.
As a tireless advocate for disadvantaged people and the environment, Van helped to pass America's first "green job training" legislation: the Green Jobs Act, which George W. Bush signed into law as a part of the 2007 Energy Bill. He is the co-founder of a number of successful non-profit organizations, including the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Green For All.
Van is the recipient of many awards and honors, including: the Reebok International Human Rights Award; the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leader designation; the prestigious, international Ashoka Fellowship; and many more. Van was included in the Ebony Magazine "Power 150" list of most influential African Americans for 2009. In 2008, Essence magazine named him one of the 25 most inspiring/influential African Americans. TIME Magazine named him an environmental hero in 2008. In 2009, TIME named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In March 2009, Van went to work as the special advisor for green jobs at the White House Council for Environmental Quality.

Irma, that is their biggest deceit, to say they are patriots. Like the Patriot Act, Ha! Anything but! They are not, I am and you are!
We must support or President! He must support us! He must be the patriot of the patriots! He cannot be like all the rest! I KNOW he asked for Jones resignation. This was a good man, probably better than all the rest put together! Damn it, he is the most powerful man in the world! He does not rely on us, we rely on him!
Love you sister, just ranting.

Steve, did you know that the things that Fox is using against Jones was said before the owner of Fox PUBLISHED THAT BEST SELLER "THE GREEN COLLAR ECONOMY"? This is what gets me in all of this...
Rupert Murdock the owner of this very station of Glenn Beck's is more responsible for Jones being a house hold name than our president. But, this fair and balance news network has not said one word about this?
They are depending on the public going on personal emotions by way of gossip to now feel more enpowered to try and get US in the BLACK COMMUNITY to help them next bring down the next power coming after them the brand new Diversity department at the FCC, Mark Lloyd. The head person is a Black man that has plans to fine them $150 million a day for these racist, opinions like Becks. And they can only succeed in this with our help...are we going to help Fox get rid of there enemys that are trying to get us equality on the cable news networks...or are we going to help Van Jones and Mark Lloyd(at the FCC) to do what our president gave them jobs to do...HELP US....??? It is all up to us...Steve all I am trying to say is our president asked us to help him take our government back out of the hands of big business. And Rupert Murdock is big busines(that Al Sharpton is going after in New Your all summer long) out to get Mr. Obama out of that Whitehouse as fast as possible or do any of us believe that they are going to leave Mr. Obama and any other Blacks to be in Washington in some from of power tha twe have never had before????!!!!!?
And, brother Steve have you not heard any of the right-wing saying all over the tv how they ar Patriots and this is why they want that Hilter, socialist, marxis out of the Whitehouse so they can get their government back?????!!!!. Me, I will just remain as I have been for the past 51 years fight for equality and against this Jim Crow that is trying to get rid of the Dictator or as they call him every thing but a child of God...try to do what is best fromy 5 year old grandson not to end up at the end of a rope on a tree!!!!!!
No Steve, I am not angry nor am I trying to say any ting you say is wrong. All I am saying is we have tried the peace route and it is not worth it if I still have to worry about my people being hung as the result of these Fox backed racist rallys as they are doing now...BEEN THER E DONE THAT.(smile)

Steve you are wrong as our presidentbecause he said that he WOULD NOT ASK FOR HIM TO RESIGN. And, why would he?!? Jones is who helped this economy get back on track. the lulnkers for cash came from Van Jones. And, I am talking about the words that came out of our president's mouth. If our president was that timid he would have turned away from rev. J. Wright. something else that the public failed to hear that came our of Mr. Obama's own mouth...how he could no more turn against rev. Wright than he could turn away fromthe black community. they also ingored why he stop going to his old church because the press was a threat to the members health in the hospitals and to their jobs...
Our president got into the Whitehouse under his own powers and now we are trying to say he is now out to get rid of all of those main Black players he took on a personal basis and not White experts to be by his side...Steve grow up and get some common sense that says our president is not just another White president working under the rules of who put him there by their money and they now own him...PLEASE....
This is all I ask of you Steve and anyone else to try and see this man as not just another White man in that Whitehouse and stop judging him in this manner...Please...
