Phone Scripts 9.13-9.16.2018: The President* Needs to be Examined + More

That government continues to separate more than 400 children from their parents.
That man in the White House has no control moral compass.
That man waiting to join the Supreme Court lies, skirts the truth, and lacks candor.
That administration wants to pay for tax cuts by cutting support for individuals.

After all those ‘thats,’ have you called our Senators and Representatives?

(And don’t forget the value of California’s clean air - write, too!)

Reunite ALL of the Children

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 ALL of the migrant children separated from their parents be reunited. NOW.

The Trump administration* wants us not to notice. No dice. Children are still missing their parents and incalculable damage is being done. Pressure is the only thing that works. APPLY IT!!

The President* Needs to be Examined

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 call for an independent doctor to give Donald Trump an exam to determine his mental and physical health.

There have been multiple credible allegations that Trump is mentally unstable. He is routinely portrayed as a raging child. The only exams that have been made public appear to have been fakes, written by Trump himself. This is serious: we need to know if he is clinically unfit to continue in office. Please demand that he submit to an exam!

NO on Tax Scam 2.0!

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 oppose the Republican Tax Scam 2.0.

It’s not enough for Republicans that they rammed through a huge tax give-away to the super-rich last year that is now blowing a gaping hole in our deficit. Not enough that none of the touted benefits have appeared for working Americans. Now they want to cut more taxes. Because as Donald Trump once said of himself, the rich are greedy. ENOUGH. I’m asking [the MoC] to hold firm and say, “No!” to any and all Republican tax cuts.

NO on Kavanaugh

Hi, my name is _______ and I’m a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I’m calling to ask the Senator to continue to oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.

The Senator knows what’s wrong with Kavanaugh. As much as the Republicans have tried to hide it from the Senate and from the American people, he would be a disastrous judge, gutting rights for women, minorities, the LGBTQ community, voters and the American people in general. He would enable Trump’s worst fascist power-grabs. He would set American back 100 years. Vote NO, NO, NO.

CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD

Protect Our Emissions Standards
Link to submit comments:  https://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bcsubform.php?listname=leviii18&comm_period=A

The California Air Resources Board is having a public hearing on amendments to the Low-Emission Vehicle III Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulation on Sept. 27th at 9:00AM in Sacramento. The purpose of the amendments is to protect California’s vehicle emissions standards from an attack by Trump’s EPA, which is maintaining that we don’t have the right to set our own standards.

Please use the link above to write to the CARB and be sure to submit your comments by September 14th. Here’s a sample script, but feel free to write your own:

Dear CARB:
I'm writing in support of your proposed amendments to the Low-Emission Vehicle III Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulation. We must, at all costs, protect our own stringent standards against attack by Trump's EPA.
