We know the image created by Fox News commentators about Jones couldn’t be further from the truth.
Van's story - from young man angered by the Rodney King beating to White House advisor ensuring we create good jobs to rebuild communities and keep vulnerable kids out of prison - is one that we should all be celebrating and telling.
Van is a compassionate and inspiring leader. His vision of a prosperous America, innovative, safeguarding of our resources, and filled with opportunity is one I share and what led me to join the movement I apply myself towards today.
It’s a vision of rebuilding our economy and ensuring our national security – we should be investing our money in America creating jobs not in Middle East oil. It’s about American ingenuity – developing energy from sources that never run out. It’s about protecting the air we breathe and water we drink – moving away from the dirty fuels of the past to clean 21st century fuels. And it is about opportunity for all Americans.
The clean-energy economy is becoming a reality as more and more people and businesses see the value – and urgency – in clean technologies, from non-toxic cleaners to wind and solar power. And if business and government partner, we can accelerate it and all benefit.
Van was helping make that happen.
And you can too.
Please let your Senator know that you support Van’s vision of a clean energy economy with opportunity for all. http://www.senate.gov/... Just choose your state and call. On this Labor Day with so many out of work, what could be more important. It will take only a couple minutes and means a lot.
And pass it on.
