**SNIP**

Here are the 15 House Democrats supporting the measure:

Jared Huffman (CA-02)
Ro Khanna (CA-17)
Ted Lieu (CA-33)
John Lewis (GA-05)
Joe Neguse (CO-02)
Chellie Pingree (ME-01)
Jamie Raskin (MD-08)
Ayanna Pressley (MA-07)
Rashida Tlaib (MI-13)
Ilhan Omar (MN-05)
Deb Halland (NM-01)
Carolyn Maloney (NY-12)
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14)
José E. Serrano (NY-15)
Earl Blumenauer (OR-03)

The proposal also has the support of nearly 100 environmental, economic and social justice organizations, according to the Sunrise Movement.

To build momentum, the youth climate group is organizing another mass action at the Capitol on Dec. 10, right before Congress breaks for the holidays, "to make sure Ocasio's Select Committee on a Green New Deal makes it on the agenda for 2019," Sunrise Movement founder Varshini Prakash said in an emailed press release.

This is our country for the next two years. Asinine ideas coming out of our brain-damaged house. All dead in the Senate. If one lunatic bill escapes the Senate somehow, Trump will kill it.

One way or the other, it will be fixed in two years.

Shut down all industry.
Force people to live in caves.
Allow a diet of only nuts and berries.
Once the population in the US is down to around 10 million, the Earth may begin to heal.

We can accomplish these goals if we funnel about $5T to a small number of select people among the Elite who will put the money to good use.

The genius of the Founders made the Senate a cooling saucer for bills passed by transient House majorities.

Much of the Democrat agenda will never - thank God - see the light of day.

More likely, the Chinese will colonize the nearly abandoned land and farm it.

The notion of something for nothing will always be attractive to certain people.

Ah, the usual suspects. They are going to pass every far out hyper left wing plan they can come up with knowing full well it will be dead in the Senate. Of course our bunch did it with Obamacare, so I can’t really blame them. I can, however, laugh at them

Socialism Venezuela-style.

Thank your lucky stars we’ve kept control of the Senate.

I don’t know how many of the names are just newly elected, not sworn in as members of ANYTHING but they have no right to claim a district they are not yet representing. Suppose some of them DIE before they get to lie and swear to uphold the Constitution? I don’t see any great loss if that happened.. Arrest them for taking an oath under false pretenses - the lot of them!

The Chinese probably would have done that around 1450 or so if their establishment hadn’t been overthrown by a cabal of deep state operatives who decided to abolish the coin of the establishment and recall the fleets which were then expanding trade and considering colonizing east Africa.
