[ [link removed] ]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress


In case you
missed it:

Late last week, while debating an amendment to restrict gas and oil
companies who engage in stock buybacks from leasing federal land,
Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan attempted to come for Alexandria by telling
her to “educate yourself” about natural gas and how it’s helped America
“keep emissions low”. But our Congresswoman wasn’t having it.

Rather than admit that they’re fighting to protect corporate profits at
the expense of our communities’ health and our planet’s ability to sustain
us, Republicans have turned to name calling and character-based insults.

But Alexandria lets these insults fall to the wayside because she knows
that our movement is on the right side of history. If we are going to
protect our planet and our families, then we must move away from fossil
fuels and toward green energy.

you make a $3 contribution to power our movement and help
Alexandria keep fighting for a green energy future?

Here’s the full transcript of what Alexandria had to say about Rep.
Duncan’s attack on the House floor:

“I mean I understand in this body it’s not the first time that it seems as
though the opposing side can’t seem to be able to debate the issue, and so
they must come after my character.”

“While I cannot control the fact that the other side seems to have made
the assumption that I am uneducated, or what they may say about my
worldview, one of the things that I can say is that while I may not work
for Wall Street, that is true. I may not be here with the mission to
increase profits for corporations, that is true.”

“My mission here is for the wellbeing and dignity of our family’s and our
planet's future. For our children’s ability to live on this planet. That’s
what this amendment is about. Moreover, when we talk about education, we
should all take it upon ourselves in this body to educate ourselves on the
science of the challenge of climate change that is before us. By around
2050 we are looking at, in western states, wildfires projected to further
increase by 2 to 6 times. And that is just scratching the surface. Thank
you and I yield back.”

future, so we can’t stop either. If you can, make a $3
contribution today to help keep Alexandria in Congress fighting for us
all.

Thank you,

Team AOC
