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-Cortezs June victory in the Democratic primary. Now we need to see that energy translated to the most powerful committees in Congress.

Ouroboros is hungry
The leaders of the Animal Farm are being eaten by the children they kept indoctrinating; like telling them “to protest” means you are right and anyone opposing you is wrong, and you’re supposed to always “respect” the protestors BECAUSE ya know “they’r right”. You helped make them Pelosi now live with them or step aside.
SanFranGran; the Tinkle lady
That will work! LOL.
Some guys at Walter Reed during the Iraq war called her Aunt Nancy. She matured into SanFranGran.
The San Francisco Poop Patrol is looking for a spokesperson in Congress.
Everybodys saying she has a degree.. makes me wonder what kind of wool theyre pulling. Like soteros Constitutional Law scholarship. TOTAL Fraud. Theres more going on behind the curtain.
From a related thread on this issue
Patriots are reminded that most of the powers now exercised by the Financial Services Committee are not reasonably based on any of Congresss constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo.
In other words, Financial Services Committee steals and exercises 10th Amendment (10A)-protected state powers.
Insurance:
"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphases added] of indemnity against loss. Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
Banking:
A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution [emphasis added]. Jeffersons Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.
Also, regardless that the feds argue that the Federal Reserve is private, Jefferson's comment about a national bank indicates that the establishment of the Fed by Congress wrongly ignored state sovereignty imo.In fact, using grossly misleading terms like "concept" and "implicit" to describe 10A, here is what was left of that amendment by the time that FDR's activist justices got finished with it.
"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [???] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [??? emphases added] in the status of statehood." Wickard v. Filburn, 1942
Housing Industries:
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws [emphasis added], or the road laws, of the states. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added]. Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added]. Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country. Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." me
Corrections, insights welcome.
She’s mumbling along with, “...this will be the day that I die...” as RATS demand a power shift. That’s some party.
She reminds me of a Training Manager that wanted to know why my folks were behind schedule with a course for secure networking for NSA....the computers had serious bugs in them and a lot of tables kept corrupting....tried to tell her about the bad tables and she didn’t have the brainpower to grasp more than a half sentence at a time...she ended up slapping a classroom table with her hand and saying if tables were the only holdup, she could get us some tables.....had to treat my folks to lunch that day for the way they were rolling on the floor and laughing so hard they had real tears....Ocasio would provide many such moments....
