NO Renewed Family Separations!!

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask [the MoC] to loudly and vehemently oppose the administration*’s new plan to renew migrant family separations.

The administration* has never given up on cruel and unusual punishment for migrant refugees at our border. Now they’re bent on separating families again, thanks to the nefarious Stephen Miller. Tell them: NO.

Reverse Global Warming

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask [the MoC] to insist that we take immediate and dramatic steps to reverse carbon emissions. A new report has now told us that we have ten years to massively reverse the carbon output that is causing global warming. We must act. I expect [the MoC] to make this case loudly and regularly, no matter what else is going on. Chances are, this is more important.

The President* Is Covering Up Murder

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask [the MoC] to make a clear and unequivocal public statement accusing the president* of covering up the murder of the journalist and American resident Jamal Khashoggi.

Khashoggi was brutally tortured and murdered, clearly upon the order of Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump, who may well be in debt to the Prince, is covering for the murder, pretending he doesn’t know who did it. Nonsense. Call him out publicly: he’s lying in order to cover up a gruesome murder, perpetrated by someone who holds leverage over him.

Sabotage Republican Court-packing

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask [the MoC] to use every available tactic, no matter how petty or small, to throw sand in the gears of Republican judicial nominations.

The Republicans are packing the courts as fast as they can and they are trampling over every Senate custom and norm to do it. Furthermore, they showed in the Kavanaugh hearings that they loathe and despise all of their Democratic “colleagues”. The lesson is: stop cooperating with them. At all. Use every technique available: endlessly question nominees, submit voluminous written questions, boycott committee markups and object to unanimous consent agreements. Every single time, every single nominee. And refuse to be party to any agreements that result in more judicial nominations. If Schumer tries it again, chose another leader. ENOUGH. FIGHT BACK!

Hands Off Our Benefits!

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask [the MoC] to counter Mitch McConnell’s lies and to tell him: keep your nasty hands off our our benefits!

McConnell passed his enormous tax scam to do two things: give our money away to the super-rich and then use the resulting deficit to take away our Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Now he’s lying, conveniently forgetting that he promised his tax scam would actually lower the deficit, and moaning that we have to cut benefits. Call out his lies. Remind everyone of what he actually said. And tell Mitch: get your filthy mitts off of our benefits.
