Van Jones on Wisconsin: ‘It’s time to draw a line in the sand’

Long time communist activist and former Obama “Green Jobs Czar ” Van Jones has issued a call to support protesting government workers and their socialist puppet masters in Wisconsin.

From the Huffington Post (where else?)

In the past 24 months, those of us who longed for positive change have gone from hope to heartbreak. But hope is returning to America — at last — thanks largely to the courageous stand of the heroes and heroines of Wisconsin.

Reinvigorated by the idealism and fighting spirit on display right now in America’s heartland, the movement for “hope and change” has a rare, second chance. It can renew itself and become again a national force with which to be reckoned.

Over the next hours and days, all who love this country need to do everything possible to spread the “spirit of Madison” to all 50 states. This does not mean we need to occupy 50 state capitol buildings; things elsewhere are not yet that dire. But this weekend, the best of America should rally on the steps of every statehouse in the union.

Moveon.org and others have issued just this kind of call to action; everyone should prioritize responding and turning out in large numbers…

Something more vital is at stake: our country needs a national movement to defend the American Dream itself. And the fight in Wisconsin creates the opportunity to build one…

It is time to draw a line in the sand — nationally. Someone has to stand up for common sense and fairness. It is time to use all nonviolent means to defend the American people and our American principles from these abuses.

If we take a bold and courageous stand, over time, we can win. Make no mistake about it: this is our “Tea Party” moment — in a positive sense…

…This is the “pressure from below” that Jones has long called for . The left understands that this “do or die.” …

CAJ note: Van Jones wants the left to emulate the Tea Party (albeit “in a positive sense” whatever that means)? Heh! He’s calling for “bottom up, top down, inside out” in this statement. Keep doing your good work, Tea Partiers and 9/12-ers!
