Issues of the week:
This GOP led Congress doesn’t care about you if you are not white, rich or male. Unless you are Mueller and then they don’t care about you either
Calls to congress
- Script to stop attacks on immigrants: “My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and I and live in ZIP code [number]. I am calling because I am deeply concerned that families are still separated with no end in sight, nothing is being done to help Puerto Rico, and citizenship and green card are being attacked. I ask that the Senator/Rep to 1) work to pass the REUNITE Act 2) hold hearings on what is happening at the border and Puerto Rico and 3) make sure no tax payer money goes to fund a wall. Thank you.”
- Script to protect women and Stop Kavanaugh: My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and I and live in ZIP code [number]. The GOP Congress looks like it has abandoned women. The Violence Against Women’s Act languishes a full renewal and Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination is being rushed through with no thought to victims’ rights. I ask that the Senator/Rep to do all he or she can to stop this perjurer from sitting on the supreme court and to get a full renewal of the Violence Against Women’s Act.
- Script to protect Mueller: My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and I and live in ZIP code [number]. Congress must respect the rule of law. I ask the Senator/Rep to do al he or she can to pass legislation to protect the Mueller investigation.
