For Senators Warren & Markey

Call # 1
Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
I want the Senator to oppose the GENIUS Act until it includes basic rules so government officials can’t use stablecoin ventures to line their own pockets and so that foreign governments and giant corporations can’t use stablecoins to pay bribes to the President of the United States. If it doesn’t include those things I demand a NO vote.

Call # 2
I want the Democrats to ask for a so-called “Byrd bath”
for every single provision that they can. First, so many of the provisions clearly don’t belong in a reconciliation bill and should be stripped out under Byrd, and second, Democrats’ one job right now should be to slow down this process in every way we can. Don’t make ANYTHING easy for Republicans. Delay, block, and call them out on everything, please. Thanks.

Call # 3
Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
I’m calling to urge the Senator to restore full funding for weather and climate research and prediction in the budget reconciliation bill and this year’s appropriations process. These cuts have hurt our weather forecasts, stopped essential weather and climate research, and endangered lives. And since our FEMA director is unqualified for his job—he literally didn’t know we have a hurricane season—accurate weather forecasts are all the more urgent. Folks won’t get the help they need after a disaster, so at the very least they need to know about weather events in advance. Thanks.

For Representative Markey

Call #
Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is _______.
I’m calling because I heard that Trump is sending a rescissions package to Congress this week that contains about 9B in cuts, mostly to foreign aid, NPR and Public Broadcasting. I oppose all of these cuts, but today I really want to focus on the cuts to USAID. They have been absolutely catastrophic and I don’t want to see them codified. Pro Publica reported this week that the cuts have led to violence and instability while undermining anti-terrorism initiatives. Boston University estimates that because of them nearly 300,000 people have died to date. This is unacceptable. It’s terrible for our national security, for our global standing, and for humanity. These funds must be restored, not cut. Thanks.

Call # 2
Hi, I’m a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is _______.
I’m calling to urge the Representative to oppose any cuts to HUD’s Fair Housing Initiatives Program. Fair housing is the law, and this program provides essential resources to local advocacy groups who prevent and address housing discrimination. We need to do all we can to make housing MORE, not less affordable. Thank you.
