The forced resignation of Van Jones, who will soon be appearing in our film "Heist" is a national disgrace. Van Jones is an incredible leader, a visionary, and one who truly understands the twin disasters that have befallen us, in the form of an economic meltdown and an ecological meltdown, and how we can dig our way out of both. The vicious attacks by the Right Wing on Van are part of a deliberate strategy to make Obama's presidency ungovernable. David Brock the head of Media Matters predicted this type of scenario in his book, "The Republican Talk Machine," 5 years ago.
We have an hour long interview with Van, in which he speaks so eloquently about the demise of free market fundamentalism, and so much more. We must rally behind him, and as Alternet put it so well, recognize him as the national leader he already is.
I say let's have a big welcome home party for him here in Oakland.
