Dear Patriot,

Not to be deterred by fiscal sanity, logic,
or embarrassment, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY),
aka "AOC," is back at it again and has reintroduced "The Green
New Deal."

She must figure the COVID tyranny didn't shut
down enough businesses in the last year and now must finish the
job of obliterating small business in America for good.

This is proof that climate change is for
progressive Democrats what terrorism is for neoconservative
Republicans: a ready-made excuse to expand government and curtail
liberty.

When AOC introduced this fantastical plan two
years ago, it was roundly laughed at and didn't get any momentum
in Congress, but it certainly was the subject of a lot of
headlines.

And for good reason - this plan is nothing
short of economic devastation for generations to come:

>>This radical plan would authorize the U.S.
government to seize control of major sectors of the U.S. economy



>>It would phase out gasoline-fueled cars


>>It would mandate wasting $Billions on
tearing down existing buildings only to rebuild them


>>It would phase out air travel to replace it
with rail travel

The Green New Deal also goes beyond
protecting the environment and wades into social justice
initiatives such as:

>>"Providing all people of the United States
with high-quality health care; affordable, safe, and adequate
housing; economic security; and clean water, clean air, healthy
and affordable food, and access to nature."

>>"Guarantee a job with a family-sustaining
wage, adequate and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement
security to all people of the United States."

>>Guarantee "direct replacement of lost
wages, health care, retirement, and other benefits for workers
affected by the transition" to another "high quality union job."

None of this sounds like letting the free
market work the way it should.

In fact, all of these horrible ideas would
cause complete economic destruction of entire industries in our
country that millions upon millions of people depend on for their
jobs and livelihoods.

Sanity needs to prevail, with Congress
opposing all parts of this plan immediately.

Sign the petition to your U.S. Representative
and Senators, demanding they oppose the Green New Deal!

Once you do, I urge you to rush a donation of
$25, $50, or even $150 so Campaign for Liberty can squash this
"Green Bad Deal" right away.

Patriot, some may want to write this plan off
as theatrics, but if there's anything that the last year has
demonstrated, it's that the tyrants in D.C. are willing shut down
millions of businesses at the drop of the hat.

We must oppose this now before a single one
of the horrible ideas in this plan finds its way into another
bill, including the massive multi-trillion dollar infrastructure
bill being pushed by the Biden White House.

Supporters of the Green New Deal claim the
science regarding the risk of climate change is "settled."

However, the science is far from settled.
Many of the claims have been debunked.

Some supporters of policies like the Green
New Deal have actually supported criminalizing dissent from the
so-called "settled" science of climate change.

This reveals the authoritarianism of some
people demanding Americans give up real liberty and prosperity
because of phantom fears of impending environmental disaster.

Like all forms of socialism, the Green New
Deal suffers from what Ludwig von Mises identified as the
"calculation problem." In other words, none of the numbers add
up.

The Green New Deal rejects all concepts of
free market forces, which are based on efficient use of resources
and replaces it with brute government force and manipulation of
markets.

When government uses force to remove
resources from the marketplace, it makes it impossible for the
price system to function, leaving government officials and
private citizens unable to determine the most efficient use of
resources.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
brazenly dismisses concerns regarding the almost 100 trillion
dollar ten-year cost of implementing the Green New Deal by
suggesting that Congress simply make the Federal Reserve pay for
it by creating new money.

Not only is the Green New Deal a shutdown of
entire industries in this country, but it also opens the door for
the Federal Reserve to inflate the currency by 100 Trillion
dollars!

This is absolute madness.

Sign the petition!



The Green New Deal would, in addition to its
other negative impacts, hasten and deepen the inevitable Federal
Reserve-caused economic crisis facing America.

It would also continue to pump up the hidden
tax of inflation.

With 5 Trillion dollars in Corona bailouts
being pumped into the economy over the last 12 months, that
inflation is starting to become very obvious from commodities to
food at the grocery store.

Imagine 20 times that amount with AOC's
preposterous Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal is nothing more than the
same old deal the statists have been trying to force on us for
years.

Don't be lulled into thinking passage of the
Green New Deal is a pipe dream.

Sign the petition to stop AOC's Green New
Deal.

After all, at one time, the income tax, the
Federal Reserve, and government-managed healthcare also seemed
like pipe dreams.

What these and other expansions of government
power had in common was those behind them never stopped pushing
to enact their agenda. . .

And opponents to those statist schemes did
not mobilize to fight them until it was too late.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. The political class has already spent $5
Trillion of our money after mandating that the economy shut down.
The Green New Deal will put those shutdowns into hyperdrive while
resulting in even more rampant inflation.

Sign the petition immediately.

Then please consider a generous donation of
$25, $50, $150, or as much as you can afford at once.
