ACTION 1: CALL YOUR SENATORS
TO DELAY CONFIRMATION HEARINGS (LONG SHOT BUT WORTH A TRY)
(Leave a message if you can’t
get through.) NELSON (202) 224-5274
RUBIO (202) 224-3041
SAMPLE SCRIPT: “My name is [--] and I’m a
constituent from [city], Florida [zip code]. I am calling because the
Republican Senate will be trying to rush through Trump’s nominee for the
Supreme Court before the Midterms. This nominee will be an
out-of-the-mainstream extremist whose appointment would threaten settled rights
most Americans cherish—like privacy (including abortion rights and surveillance
of citizens), health care, religious liberty, voting rights, immigrant rights,
and marriage equality. If the Mueller investigation finds that Trump colluded
with Russia or worse, his Supreme Court choice would be tainted, and the entire
Court would lose legitimacy. Any decisions on his ability to pardon himself or
whether he could be compelled to testify before a grand jury would also be
suspect. For these reasons, it would be highly improper for the Senate to take
up this nomination. Please commit to rejecting any Trump nominee until Robert
Mueller completes his investigation and releases his report and to using all
means available—including shutting down the Senate—to ensure that, until then,
no nominee receives a hearing before the Judiciary Committee or is brought to
the floor. Thank you.”
ACTION 2: CALL YOUR SENATORS
TO OPPOSE THE NOMINEE
(Leave a message if you can’t
get through.) NELSON (202) 224-5274 RUBIO (202) 224-3041
SAMPLE
SCRIPT – NELSON
Caller: Hello! My name is
___ and I’m calling from [part of Florida]. Can you please tell me what Senator
Nelson plans to do about the Supreme Court vacancy?
Staffer: Hello, nice to
talk with you! The Senator plans to vote against Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.
The stakes are too high.
Caller: Thank you! I’m
very glad to hear that. Too much hangs in the balance to let Trump fill this
seat with someone from his list of totally unqualified, extreme judges. That
includes a woman’s right to choose, the Affordable Care Act, and marriage
equality. I want Senator Nelson to use every tool at his/her disposal to stop
Trump from filling this vacancy with anyone on this list.
Staffer: Thank you, the
Senator agrees with you. I’ll make sure they get your message.
SAMPLE SCRIPT – RUBIO
Caller:
Hello! My name is ___ and I’m calling from [part of Florida].
Can you please tell me what Senator Rubio plans to do about the Supreme Court
vacancy?
Staffer: The
Senator will support President Trump’s nominee.
Caller: That’s
terrible. Too much hangs in the balance to let Trump fill this seat with
someone from his list of 25 totally unqualified, extreme judges. That includes
a woman’s right to choose, the Affordable Care Act, and marriage equality. I am
extremely disappointed with the Senator.
Staffer: The
Senator disagrees with you. I’ll make sure the Senator gets your message.
Caller: I
hope the Senator will recognize that the people on Trump’s list are way outside
the mainstream and not choices that his/her constituents want. Please take down
my name and phone number so you can let me know if the Senator decides to stand
up for his/her constituents instead of being a rubber stamp for Trump.
