Today at the 'One Nation Rally' put on by a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Medea Benjamin, the Founder of Code Pink, and former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones spoke to Eyeblast.tv about why they were in attendance and gave their thoughts on Tea Party rallies. Benjamin told Eyeblast she believes if the wars were ended and the money were used here in the United States, we would be better off; with no mention of the billions spent under the Obama administration. Van Jones, on the other hand, said "the politics of hatred" is holding us back and that people are worried because of the economy. He gave the example of clean energy as a way to create more jobs.
