Script / Talking Points
Basic Script
- Hi, my name is _______, I live in __________ and I am one of your constituents.
- As a person of faith / conscience, I am calling to urge Rep/Sen.____ to denounce the U.S. and Israel’s attack in Iran and take immediate action to limit the powers of the Trump administration to conduct this illegal war.
- Trump's threat this week to end an entire civilization is unconscionable. No elected official can remain silent in the face of this evil.
- It is the responsibility of Congress to check the power of the Executive branch, and yet, we have witnessed the continuous abdication of that responsibility.
- This illegal war reflects a complete disregard for the value of human life and the U.S. constitution.
- This war only deepens the suffering of the Iranian people and undermines the possibility of their liberation.
- It also does not make Americans safer. Instead it spends countless billions of tax payer dollars on war, while this congress simultaneously cuts what little money is dedicated to programs like healthcare, and food assistance for the American people.
- The people of your state urge you to claim your power, honor your conscience, and stop this war.
