Investigate Flynn
Basic Sample Script: My name is [———] and I am a constituent of [Representative or Senator’s name].
According to U.S. investigators, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had illegal communications with a Russian official before the 2016 election. He allegedly discussed easing U.S. sanctions against Russia for tampering in the election. If these allegations are true, Flynn has broken a serious law and has no place making decisions on our national security.
I urge [Representative or Senator] to demand a full investigation into Flynn’s actions.

Oppose Bannon on the National Security Council
Basic Sample Script: My name is [———] and I am a constituent of [Representative or Senator’s name].
President Trump recently elevated white nationalist Steve Bannon to a full “principals seat” on the National Security Council. At the same time, high-ranking intelligence and military officials are being excluded. This raises serious questions about the integrity of the National Security Council’s decision-making. It also places all of us at risk.
Bannon does not belong in the Situation Room. I urge [Representative or Senator] to oppose Bannon’s permanent seat on the council and to cosponsor legislation clarifying the permanent membership of the National Security Council.
Oppose elimination of Election Assistance Commission
Basic Sample Script: My name is [———] and I am a constituent of [Representative’s name].
A House committee recently advanced legislation to eliminate the Election Assistance Commission. The commission helps protect the integrity of our elections. It oversees voting machine security and states’ adherence to federal voter registration laws.
I urge [Representative’s name] to oppose this legislation.
Oppose Gorsuch
Basic Sample Script: My name is [———] and I am a constituent of [Senator’s name].
I oppose the nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court. He was nominated to the seat in part because of his similarities to Justice Scalia. But the Constitution should dictate his decisions, not his political ideology.
I urge [Senator’s name] to oppose Judge Gorsuch’s nomination.
Fiduciary Rule
Basic Sample Script: My name is [———] and I am a constituent of [Representative or Senator’s name].
I oppose President Trump’s memo to the Department of Labor regarding the Fiduciary Rule. The Fiduciary Rule helps protect retirement savers by holding their advisers to a higher standard. And I urge [Representative or Senator’s name] to publicly condemn this order.
