Representatives of 13 progressive organizations are hand-delivering over 150,000 petition signatures Thursday to the Capitol Hill office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), demanding that she appoint Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to the influential House Ways and Means Committee.
The in-person action, which the groups plan to livestream, is part of an unprecedented, months-long effort by activists to secure greater representation for progressive members of Congress on the influential “money” committees: Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Appropriations, and Financial Services.
“The grassroots progressive movement is flexing more power than ever before,” said Waleed Shahid, a spokesman for Justice Democrats, which is participating in the petition delivery and played a lead role in Ocasio-Cortez’s June victory in the Democratic primary. “Now we need to see that energy translated to the most powerful committees in Congress.”

I think that she should be Speaker of the House
Cortez for Committee Jester.
Government by cretins.
After a year give her a brush.
Has Pelosi stopped dancing yet?
Maybe ,if she ever sobers up
At her age, she may be around for 40 years or more. And yes, her constituents are that sad.
Occasional Cortex v.s. Granny Tinkle.
Throw in the Blue Collar Billionaire.
This is entertainment!
That is. Just. Perfect.
Soroznazi’s newest little puppet I think. Pathetic sounding too
It is going to be fun watching the Dingbat trying to keep her Commies in line.
The funny thing is that she has a degree in economics. It ought to be seen as a wake up call to academia.
This is the beginings of what I posted here: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3712502/posts?page=12#12 about a week ago.
This will continue to grow until they believe they are unstoppable and then they will go out of control.

“Waleed Shahid” was the spokesman. Hmmm.
Cortez owns Pelosi. Nagative Nancy better walk softly or Cortez the Cocktail waitress will be sending her home.
Pelosi would probably go for it, some kid to shake her finger at and lecture.
But party before principle...that’s a tough one.
I seem to recall a saying about Inmates and an Asylum.
Waleed Shahid?
What’s next? Linda Sarsour having University marches in support of Occasional Cortex, the anti Israel lobby, accepting $millions from Saudi Arabia, while they protest weapon sales to Islamic Countries like Saudi Arabia?
It’s too bad Antifa didn’t protest these Fascists...
March of the stupid for the stupid. I have never seen so much idiocy in my life. Just look how far we have fallen., all thanks to the rot of democrats and some republicans who are out for themselves and the hell with this country and the hell with us
So her new name is SanFranGran; the Tinkle lady?
Maybe her and her bo, Shuck and Jive Chucky, are into that kinky shower stuff.
