Recently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has unveiled her “Green New Deal” plan. This plan calls for the United States to “take a leading role in reducing emissions through economic transformation” and calls for the US to have zero carbon emissions by 2030. Such a plan is incredibly bold, costs a lot of money, and requires radical change that will significantly impact the lives of all Americans. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while certainly vocal about her ambitions, has never gone into specifics about the Green New Deal and has never debated the proposal with someone who disagrees with her. This petition calls for rep. Ocasio-Cortez to do exactly that. Within the next year, Ocasio-Cortez should have to debate her radical proposal with one of her many critics. Some potential opponents for debate include:

-Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief at The Daily Wire

-Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader

-Ron Paul, former Representative (R-TX)

-Ted Cruz, Senator (R-TX)

-Justin Amash, Representative (R-MI)

-Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA

-Candace Owens, political activist

-Robert P. Murphy, economist

The American people deserve to be informed. People like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shouldn’t be able to propose radical legislation without openly engaging with criticism in public debate. Sign this petition to ensure that the people of the United States of America are able to know both sides of this legislation!
