SUPPORT the Bannon Bill:

I am a constituent from zip code ___________ calling to encourage Rep. _________________ to support the House bill sponsored by Stephanie Murphy that would protect the National Security Council from political influence by banning political appointees such as Steve Bannon from serving on the Principals Committee. This bill would also ensure that security experts such as the DNI and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would have standing invitations to attend Principals Committee meetings. Our national security should not be a political football; therefore I strongly encourage Rep. ____________ to back this legislation.

ASK BURR AND TILLIS TO RECUSE ON DeVOS VOTE

It’s obvious by now that Sens. Burr and Tillis are going to vote “YES” for Betsy DeVos’s nomination for Sec. of Education. Call their offices and ask that they, and any other senators who accepted donations from the DeVos family recuse themselves from the vote, as they cannot be objective after being paid off. 

Short script: I am a constituent from zip code________. I am asking that Sen. ________, who received donations from the DeVos family, recuse himself from the Senate vote on Betsy DeVos’s nomination. Senators cannot be considered objective in their decision when they have received money in exchange for their votes, as per DeVos’s own statements.

OPPOSE Scott Pruitt:

Pruitt was voted out of committee yesterday, so he should be up for a full floor vote soon. Here’s a script for him:

[Try to get the staffer’s name] I am a constituent from zip code ____ calling to oppose Scott Pruitt’s nomination to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. He has a history of opposing environmental regulations, a stance that will not only harm our planet but will also undermine our national security. Pruitt is also currently suing the EPA, which presents a clear conflict of interest. I ask that Senator ______ vote NO on Pruitt’s confirmation, thank you so much for your time.
