Jones was attacked by conservatives for statements he made against Republicans and for signing a petition in 2004 that questioned whether George W. Bush allowed 9-11 to occur to help start a war in the Middle East.
"I have been inundated with calls -- from across the political spectrum -- urging me to 'stay and fight.' But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future," Jones said in a statement announcing his resignation.
