FEDERAL:

Philippine President Duterte, who bragged about killing his own citizens, and said he’d be “happy to slaughter” three million drug addicts as “Hitler massacred three million Jews” and found a rape victim so beautiful he wished he could have raped her first, has been invited to the White House by Donald Trump.

Script: I am calling from _____________, NC and I would like to make known my disgust at The President’s invitation to Philippine President Duterte to visit him at the White House. Duterte has been encouraging vigilantism and “extrajudicial executions” of drug users by the police in the Philippines. He is exactly the kind of person the President should not host in our country.

STATE:

Advocate for automatic voter registration in your state.

S 646 Universal Voter Registration – Universal Voter Registration, would set up automatic voter registration at driver’s license offices, other specified public agencies, community colleges and UNC institutions.  Introduced by Sens. Woodard (D-Durham), Clark (D-Raeford), and Lowe (D-Winston-Salem).

Script: SCRIPT:  I am calling from Randolph County and I live in Sen_________’s district. I am calling to urge Sen. ________ to support SB 646, the Universal Voter Registration bill. Universal Voter Registration is an excellent way to make sure everyone who is eligible to vote is registered. This opt-out system as opposed to our current opt-in system would reduce the number of duplications and omissions on the voter rolls, fulfilling the goals of accessibility and security in voting. I urge the Senator to support this bill. Thank you.
