DU Activist activity Suggestion 7/28 Call Senators on Roberts

[Tommymac]

Got this from NARAL (I'm from PA so my Senators are listed; use your own if you call.):

"Your senators need to hear from you
This Thursday, be a part of National Call-In Day!

This is the situation: John Roberts is a Supreme Court nominee who has argued that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. With a woman's right to choose under attack from all sides -- remaining silent is not an option.

That's why, this week, your senators need to hear from YOU. This Thursday, July 28, we're asking you to help us generate as many phone calls as possible to the Senate. Here's what we need you to do:

1. This Thursday, call both of your senators:
Arlen Specter: [phone]

Rick Santorum: [phone]
2. Tell your senators you oppose the confirmation of anti-choice nominee John Roberts.

A sample script:
"Hi, my name is _________ and I'm one of Senator ___________'s constituents. I'm calling to urge the senator to oppose the confirmation of John Roberts to the Supreme Court. I know Roberts has led a distinguished legal career, but he also has a clear record as a legal activist who has advocated for the overturn of Roe v. Wade and has used public positions to further this goal. This is in direct opposition to the position of the vast majority of Americans and Sandra Day O'Connor's legacy. I ask that the senator oppose any nominee who will not respect my right to personal freedom and personal responsibility.

I'm following this issue closely and will be paying attention to how the senator votes on this issue. Thank you for your time."

3. Let us know you called. Click here.

We'll be in touch next week for more ways you can stay involved in the fight for the Supreme Court.

Thanks again for all you're doing!

Sincerely,



Kristin Koch
