Van Jones finally resigned.
These Czars hold positions above the Cabinet level, they don't answer to Congress. Those of you who say Czars have existed in the past gloss over it with he had one or they are not new. In the past, they were few and far between, generally accepted and in full view. Now we have 31 of them. Why do we need a seperate government branch within a branch composed exclusively of Czars answerable to ONLY the President ? Talk about abuse of power by the Executive Branch, this would be it. They are all hand picked and are pieces of Obama's puzzle to radically change life as we know it. Van Jones was not an accident. Neither is Michael Taylor. Nor is Science Czar John Holdren, who is for forced sterilization of women. Didn't we have a flap over that in the 60's or 70's ? Forced sterilization of certain welfare recipients who repeatedly had babies was outlawed.
The direction these Czars intend to take us is a far different place than we live in now. Pay attention before it is too late.

She should start with the worst of the worst, Monsanto. Sign the petition to demand that Varney immediately open an investigation into Monsanto and its abusive business practices.

...not sure where to post this, but since it is tangentially related to corporate power and control I will thread/jack just a bit. I just listened to Bill Moyers' program on a Supreme Court case being heard this Wednesday on free speech for corporations. WTF. Corporate greed, power and irresponsibility make me feel threatened. Well, it makes me feel more than threatened but this is a public forum. ....excerpt: Encompassing questions on First Amendment rights, the power of corporations and the influence of money on political elections, it's no wonder the case has created an assortment of strange bedfellows. Conservatives and liberals appear on both sides, either to defend the government's right to restrict corporate political advocacy or, on the other side, to argue that such regulations are a violation of the First Amendment.

...done and thanks.
I come from planters, myself ,and thus am a seed saver. My Cousin Billy, bless him, continues to plant and save seeds that have been passed down for over a hundred years. The 'Beckett' beans are still viable and saved.
Viva la heritage seeds and people who save them.
