[Image of two scripts created by Samala for speaking to your elected officials about the appointment of Steve Bannon as chief White House strategist. They read as follows:
“For Democratic Senators and Representatives (except for Harry Reid and Adam Schiff, CA, who have already denounced the Bannon appointment):
–Hello, my name is [your name]. I am a constituent, living in [address, district]. I am horrified at the news of Trump appointing Steve Bannon, a white supremacist, as one of his closest advisors. Please publicly condemn this appointment
–Does [legislator’s name] agree with Harry Reid that Bannon’s appointment sends a dangerous signal that white supremacists “will be represented at the highest levels” in Trump’s administration? If so, please publicly condemn this appointment immediately.
–I am frightened by this as a [woman, as a Jewish person, as a Muslim person, as a black person, a queer person, etc.] American and I am asking [legislator’s name] to speak out against this appointment immediately, to make it clear that this is not acceptable. Can [legislator’s name] commit to standing with Harry Reid and speaking out publicly?“For Republican Senators and Representatives:
–Hello, my name is [your name]. I am a constituent, living in [address, district]. I am horrified at the news of Trump appointing Steve Bannon, a white supremacist, as one of his closest advisors.
–How does [legislator’s name] feel about this appointment? Does this appointment represent his/her views? I am frightened by this [woman, as a Jewish person, as a Muslim person, as a black person, a queer person, etc.] and I am asking [legislator’s name] to speak out against this appointment immediately, to make it clear that this is not OK with mainstream Republicans.
–I believe that Bannon’s appointment sends a dangerous signal that white supremacists will be represented at the highest levels in Trump’s administration. Can [legislator’s name] commit to speaking out publicly against this appointment?”]I know I’ve posted a lot of potential scripts for speaking to your elected officials about the appointment of reprehensible white supremacist Stephen Bannon, a racist, misogynist, antisemitic garbage person, to the position of Chief White House Strategist. But these are some of the most useful I’ve come across. They are customizable, concise and straightforward and make it easy – even for those of us who consider the telephone a demon instrument designed to humiliate us – to make these important calls. You can do it!!!
