FEDERAL:

Protest Jared Kushner’s dishonesty.

Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111.

Call Burr, Tillis and Walker, also.

Script: To receive a security clearance, Jared Kushner had a responsibility to report seven years of meetings with foreign officials. He lied by omission by not including recent meetings with a Russian bank owner and Russian ambassador. His security clearance should be revoked, and he should step down from his role in the White House. Americans will not tolerate dishonesty.

 

 

Push for an independent investigation of 45’s ties to Russia.

Call Burr and Tillis

Script: Hi! I’m from ________ and would like to know what Sen. _______ is doing to push for an independent investigation of the Russia scandal.

(If you get a non-answer:) The FBI’s plans to merge the investigation isn’t enough. We need an independent commission. When will Sen. _________ co sign Senate bill 27?

STATE: 

HB 467: Agriculture and Forestry Nuisance Remedies:

This bill would limit the ability of North Carolina residents to sue industrial hog farms for damages for polluting their air and water. This is despite mounting evidence that industrial hog farms—like Smithfield—can have significant health effects on nearby residents producing symptoms such as burning eyes, breathing problems, headaches, anxiety, and blood pressure spikes. The waste from these farms also disproportionately affects poor people and people of color who have fewer protections from environmental hazards, less ability to leave their homes during high exposure periods, and less access to medical and clinical services than residents of higher-income communities.

Script:
Hi, I am a constituent from __________________ and I am calling to urge Rep./Sen. _________________ to oppose HB 467, the Agriculture and Forestry Nuisance Remedies bill. This bill would restrict the ability of people to sue industrial hog farms for damages. Waste from industrial hog farms has been documented to pollute air and water sources. It has also had significant health effects on nearby residents, contributing to symptoms such as burning eye, breathing problems, and even high blood pressure. Thank you for your time.
