Democratic operatives responsible for creating their party’s platform this year have unanimously adopted a provision calling for the Department of Justice to investigate companies who disagree with Democrats on global warming science.
A panel of Democrats voted Friday to approve a final draft of the party’s platform to promote “Progressive Democratic Values,” which apparently includes investigating energy companies who “misled” shareholders about global warming.
“Another joint proposal calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change was also adopted by unanimous consent,” according to the Democratic National Convention’s website.
The drafting committee, led by DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, has decided to back ongoing investigations by mostly Democratic state attorneys general into ExxonMobil’s stance on global warming.
Currently, AGs from California, Massachusetts, New York and the U.S. Virgin Islands have launched investigations of Exxon, and at least two AGs have demanded records on conservative think tanks and scientists skeptical of global warming. Such targeting has only fueled calls that these investigations are an attack on free speech.
New York AG Eric Schneiderman was the first to launch an investigation into Exxon, based on reporting from eco-left wing reporters at InsideClimate News and Columbia University. Schneiderman hosted a conference in March with other AGs to announce more investigations into Exxon.
Republican lawmakers and AGs have pushed back, calling the investigations into Exxon and think tanks an assault on free speech.
Some Republican AGs recently warned their liberal counterparts that if skeptics can be investigated for misrepresenting global warming, alarmists can be as well.

The Democrats are control freak Tyrants. They want to lock up anyone that politically disagrees with them like North Korea.

Return to the Dark Ages: DNC 2016 Platform
Establishment of the Federal Thought Police really excites these traitors, doesn’t it? They want us all in prison camps awaiting liquidation.
The two heavy weights in the cerebral wing of the Dim party.
You suppose these clowns will actually show some hard proof.
Pray America wakes
Liberals sure are open minded, huh.
Why don’t they just call for having all global warming skeptics killed along with their families. That should cut down on any opposing viewpoints.
So they want dissent to be criminal??? Lenin and Stalin would be proud.
Trump needs to call attention to this with a large dose of ridicule that it deserves.
The Constitution gives the feds NO POWER to interfere with the opinions of individuals.
The DNC is an ENEMY ORGANIZATION that is TREASONOUS and should prosecuted if it can be found they have done enough to aid treasonous activities against the United States.
Treason involves attempting to overthrow the Constitution which is the Supreme Law of the Land (Art VI, Sec 2).
We need common sense free speech policies.
Until Trump proposes that the press be liable for publishing assertions that are demonstrably (not just arguably) untrue.
“Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei were two scientists who printed books that later became banned. Copernicus faced no persecution when he was alive because he died shortly after publishing his book. Galileo, on the other hand, was tried by the Inquisition after his book was published.”
“Both scientists held the same theory that the Earth revolved around the sun, a theory now known to be true. However, the Church disapproved of this theory because the Holy Scriptures state that the Earth is at the center, not the Sun.”
Totalitarian thugs of the past were in ‘the Church’ - today they run Washington. Same mentality... same tactics... same vileness...
What’s them to prosecute us if we complain about a Democrat....ANY DEMOCRAT!! Actually, it’s almost to that point!
Anyone still doubt my prediction of demonization, registration, disarmament, re education camps, and death camps? The Rats seem to think the demonization phase is complete.
And weren’t cities on the east cost supposed to be under water by now? At least, according to Al Gores movie Inconvenient Truth.
Well, mr. and mrs. and mx. dimocrats, when you answer the following, we’ll talk:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Otherwise, sit down and STFU.
