I’m calling to demand that [Senator] [Last Name] take immediate action to stop Elon Musk’s unlawful takeover of our government through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

📢 BLOCK KASH PATEL FOR FBI DIRECTOR

📞 Call Script:

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I’m calling to demand [Senator Graham/Scott] vote against the confirmation of Kash Patel for FBI Director. He has spread proven lies and conspiracy theories about civil servants, elected officials of any party, and the FBI itself. Patel would make for a dangerous FBI Director who would weaponize the agency against any American deemed disloyal to Trump.

State Call Scripts

📞 Sample State Call Scripts Below

Keep it brief and direct. Your goal is to be heard and counted.

📢 OPPOSE THE TOTAL ABORTION BAN (SC Senate bill S.323)

📞 S.323 Call Script #1:

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I’m calling to demand that Senator [NAME] vote against the Total Abortion Ban.

Access to abortion is essential for people to make their own decisions about their reproductive lives. This bill would not only criminalize abortions but would also silence anyone who seeks to provide abortions or even tell someone what their options are.

📞 S.323 Call Script #2 (for Senator Davis):

Hi, my name is [Name], and I’m a constituent from [City, Zip].

I’m calling to demand that Senator Davis stop S 323 and any bill that will further restrict access to abortion in South Carolina. S 323 criminalizes giving or obtaining all abortions and makes providing information about it a felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison, even if no abortion takes place. Senator, don’t let this bill out of your committee.

📢 OPPOSE THE TOTAL ABORTION BAN (SC House bill H.3457)

📞 Call Script:

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I’m calling to demand that Representative [NAME] vote against the Total Abortion Ban.

Access to abortion is essential for people to make their own decisions about their reproductive lives. H.3457 will further limit access to abortion that women and families need and eliminate exceptions for rape and incest. Don’t do it.

IF LEAVING VOICEMAIL: Please leave your full name and street address to ensure your call is tallied.

📢 OPPOSE THE EDUCATION TRUST FUND BILL (Bill S.62 currently passed in the Senate and returned to the House for debate)

"Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City]. I’m calling to urge Representative [NAME] to OPPOSE S.62 Education Trust Fund Bill currently being reviewed in the House Education and Public Works Committee. This bill continues to violate the Constitution, discriminates against children from marginalized communities, causes learning loss, and is a budgetary disaster. I urge you to oppose this bill in committee and on the floor".
