Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I’m calling to thank the Congresswoman for rejecting Trump's sham executive orders, holding strong for the HEROES Act and not caving in to Republican pressure tactics. I’m grateful that she has been fighting for real unemployment benefits, a real eviction/foreclosure moratorium, real aid for hospitals, states, and local governments, and real funds for COVID testing, treatment, and prevention.
However, I’m disturbed that Congress is currently in recess. The American people need their Members of Congress back on the job of addressing the growing pandemic and economic emergencies. The House should be in Washington publicly demanding action and holding public hearings on the crises – with or without administration officials. If the Senate won't debate or vote on the HEROES Act, Democratic Senators need to be on duty every day in DC publicly demanding that they do so.
Background
More than two months ago, the Democratic House passed the HEROES Act to address a wide range of pandemic & economic issues and provide emergency relief to people who desperately need it. McConnell and the Republican-controlled Senate refused to even discuss it, let alone vote on it. When the emergency provisions of the CARES Act expired at the end of July, Republicans proposed a totally inadequate HEALS Act that provided more tax-cuts for wealthy corporations, more weapons for the Pentagon, and business immunity (impunity) from COVID-negligence lawsuits. They couldn't get enough support for it to even bring it to the floor.
Trump then seized the opportunity for some election self-promotion by issuing three executive orders of dubious legality. He boasted that they would provide the emergency relief that Americans need, but his orders are worthless shams that will do nothing for us, and one of them contains a stealth attack on Social Security and Medicare (see deep dive). Negotiations between Democrats, Republicans, and the White House have broken down, Congress is on holiday, the pandemic rages unchecked with hospitals overwhelmed and testing resources still inadequate, millions of people are out of work without funds to sustain themselves, and tens of millions now face imminent eviction and foreclosure.
