ECON, how much does Jackson charge for product endorsements?

Cynthia has ripped Jesse Jackson, Sr. for recording radio advertisements for the utility companies, like ComEd, to make it sound like Illinois was getting a good deal by allowing electric companies to gouge consumers.

How much did ComEd have to give Rainbow/PUSH to get Jackson to pitch rate increases to WVON listeners?

Or does Jesse Jackson think that the most pressing social justice issue is helping ComEd squeeze customers for an extra $5-40 per month?

Can we now dismiss Jackson and Rainbow/PUSH as "has beens"?

  • Jesse Jackson loves to shakedown unions for contributions to Rainbow/PUSH.

    Maybe it's time consumers contact unions and tell them to cut Jackson off. If he wants ComEd money he can go speak to ComEd executives.

  • Jesse Jackson is simply a whore. If there's a spotlight for him to stand in, he'll be there.

    He needs to go take care of his "love child" and go to church!

  • I think he has out lived his usefulness. He need to be put out to pasture.

  • Pamela says: Years ago my husband worked for Cook County Police at the cook county jail. They were on strike. Jackson came in to mediate. Asked the union for contributions and basically conspired with management to screw over the union. Since then I haven't thought too much of him

  • Pamela: Don't forget about when he came in to mediate for some Black people who wanted a beer distribution and they called Jesse Jackson in to negotiate and he came out with a beer distribution for his son.
