Call GOP Senator Thad Cochran to Oppose DeVos

Apparently he hasn't come out with his decision. He said that he would carefully consider the feelings and thoughts of his constituents.
His numbers:
DC - 202-224-5054
Jackson - 601-965-4459
Oxford - 662-236-1018
Gulf Coast - 228-867-9710
I've written up a script you can use. I did as much research as I could on Senator Cochran and am pretty confident this information is correct.
“Hi, my name is _______________, and I’m a constituent from (city), zip code (zip code), I don’t need a response. I implore you to vote against the nomination of Betsy Devos to Secretary of Education. Senator Cochran, I know your parents were educators and you yourself were a student of a public school where you flourished. 91% of education in this country is public. It is the country’s duty to provide its citizens with ease of access to quality education. Not everyone can afford to go to a private school and not everyone has access to charter schools. This is not about party vs. party. Senator Cochran, this is about our country. Please vote against the nomination of Betsy Devos so that we can wait for another nominee with more experience and vision for the future of this country’s education system.”
