20 Days Until The House Turns BLUE!
KEEP CALLING ABOUT THE SPENDING BILL
A budget represents priorities and values. We demand that this spending bill represent our values. We have asked you to call almost every day about the bill and we are asking you again today. We must end 2018 with a spending bill that will help and not hurt. So, please call both of our Senators and Greg Walden with the scripts below. In other words, we must . . .
**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**
SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR SENATORS WYDEN AND MERKLEY:
“My name is [Name]. I am a constituent living in [town/city], ZIP code [number]. I’m calling about the end of the year spending bill. I want it to represent my values. I ask the Senator to demand that ZERO dollars go to funding the wall and that no additional money goes for border patrol agents. I also ask that he make sure that the 1) Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act (S.2644), 2) Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women’s Act, and 3) Yemen War Powers Resolution that passed in the Senate yesterday (THANK YOU!) (S.J.Res.54) are included in the must-pass spending bill. Thank you.”
