Indivisible Oregon Calling Scripts
Issues of the week:
Congress is on recess but there is still much we can do. We can call out Congress on the work the left undone, comment on horrible rules being proposed by the Trump Administration, and do SOMETHING for the midterms.
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 Congress left for recess when families are still separated and now kid are being traumatized. Now Trump is talking about separating families again. They do this because congress has taken no action. 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.”
