Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
Chairman Thompson of the January 6th Select Committee recently said that the Committee would not refer Trump and his co-conspirators to the Department of Justice for prosecution. This is unacceptable. Please call upon the Select Committee to make criminal referrals to the DoJ. If they fail to do so they would be abdicating their oaths of office, and our country could still fall to Republican criminality.
Background
Looking ahead to any prospective jury trials of Trump and cronies, there is a real possibility that one or more Trump-supporting jurors could thwart the unanimous agreement needed for a verdict, regardless of the evidence. There is also the possibility that the illegitimate Supreme Court might “overturn” a guilty verdict. But there are no “we’re-playing-it-safe” routes out of the current anti-democratic Republican consolidation of power. We need our political leadership to act purposefully even in the face of risks. We need Democrats in positions of power to fulfill their institutional and patriotic responsibilities, and by doing so, to motivate Democratic voters and do political damage to Republicans. Timidity and appeasement will surely fail us. Bold, decisive action is what we need now. And it just might work.

This Week's US Congressional Call Scripts:
Trump/Musk have been furiously slashing and gutting the federal government so that they can extend Trump's 2017 tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy before they expire at the end of this year. Tell your Senators and Representative to defend Social Security against Trump and Musk
Tell our Congresspeople: Stop BOP from Putting Trans Women in Men’s Prisons
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – Martin Luther King.
Today we are confronted with the most dangerous political-constitutional crisis since the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930s and the rise of domestic fascism. And if Trump/Musk are not stopped, American democracy will face the gravest threat since the slave-holder rebellion of the Civil War.

H.R.22 will disenfranchise millions and hurt millions more. Tell your Representative to vote NO!
H.R.32 could potentially cut federal funding to schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and transportation systems in more than two dozen states deemed "sanctuaries."
On Monday, wannabe-king Trump issued an unconstitutional decree through his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) halting a wide swath of federal non-defense funding for an indefinite period. This is an assertion of illegal powers to seize money that Congress has already legally directed to be spent for health, safety, education, research, housing, disaster relief, small business loans, and a wide range of other public needs.
The GOP Priority List will disenfranchise millions and hurt millions more. Tell your Representative to vote NO!
With new backing from Elon Musk on KOSA, it is more important than ever to tell your elected officials to vote NO!
HR. 9495 threatens pro-democracy groups with being branded as terrorists, crushing dissent and threatening groups like Indivisible. Thank our Reps for voting NO!
