Is there a script for Ukraine calls? Location to get phone numbers? Might reduce friction and get more people to call. For script, I’m planning on saying: “Hi, my name is Eric Mann. I’m a constituent and am calling to ask that you vote unequivocally to support Ukraine.” To find phone number, I’m going here: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
I always cringe when people talk about if someone is pro-life or not. We are all pro-life. That 'life' includes the mother, the family, the community. Also, when you frame the conversation as abortion, as I did at physical theraphy last week, someone will always say 'well get one if you want one' I answered that no one wanted a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy but the routine medicare care to treat those situations is now considered an abortion. Don't get me started on detecting a heartbeat when there isn't a heart yet. There are so many things that could go awry in a pregnancy but the mother's health is paramount so she can try again if that is what she wants. We need to stand strong and let this be our Roevember.
Hi! I called my Representative- Latta (R) of OH-5- and his staffer told me that he has always been a fervent supporter of Ukraine- has said in the past that they are the people fighting and dying for freedom. The staffer said he can’t specifically promise how he will vote on this - but has strongly supported Ukraine in the past.
Let's do this. Let's go. It takes literally two minutes, from looking up the phone number to ending the call. (And yes, I used Eric's brief script, below! That's how short the message can be!!)
Placed my call for the day. I’m in Nebraska, and unfortunately I am in a district that was gerrymandered to remain red even though I’m in a city that if the district were drawn with any sense should probably go blue. But a lot of my efforts will be to not only to help President Biden win the one congressional district available in the electoral college this year here (we give out our electoral votes via congressional district rather than statewide), but also flip that district from Republican to Democrat in the House of Representatives… Don Bacon is one of the “Biden 18” and it’s a winnable race. And if we don’t win, I sure want the Republicans to spend a hell of a lot more money and work a hell of a lot more hours than they thought they should’ve had to. Let’s get this done for Ukraine and kick these guys’ asses in November!
My Congresswoman is Joyce Beatty. She “has this”, but I’m calling her anyhow as I know the location (I’m in an upscale suburb) and number of calls matter. I tried to share this with a statewide eastern Ohio (and beyond) D group. It didn’t allow me. We need tight, pithy stuff for the twenty seconds of attention we can grab…I’ll figure it out. Meanwhile, funny thoughts about him sleeping. Will make a great ad!
I'm not crazy about the Scranton ad. Can we stop putting women in the kitchen?! That ad also needed younger multicultural people verbally supporting Biden. We absolutely MUST get younger folks to vote for Biden! Many are already angry about the Palestinian genocide, and I don't blame them. I do love that Biden is determined to help us with student debt!
I called Tim Burchett's office, my representative Tennessee 2nd District. His perky staff member said that she would pass my message along to him regarding Ukraine funding support. Plan to do it again Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you Eric for the script and link. Thank you Simon for showing me the hopeful path and providing the tools and resources to do the work. This community has made a huge difference in my life over the past few weeks and I have shared you with family and friends. I just made my call to my representative and upgraded to paid.
I'll do just about anything Simon and others here tell me to do and so I just called US Rep Barry Loudermilk and told him to get aid to Ukraine yesterday. I plan to call every single day until I see Ukraine funding get passed.

Great ad. Frames the election as “Scranton versus Mar a Lago”.

I called my Rep Katherine Clark.
Let's do this. Let's go. It takes literally two minutes, from looking up the phone number to ending the call. (And yes, I used Eric's brief script, below! That's how short the message can be!!)
Thank you Simon, we all need to do our part. On a side note, it’s going to be rather pleasant the next few weeks knowing Trump is cooped up in court.
I have my Senator & House member phone numbers in my contacts for easy calling. I use them a lot these days! 🤳🏽
I love your newsletters and your unbounded enthusiasm for the Biden Harris administration. Keep up the great work.
I'll make the call to my Congressional rep for Ukraine today!
