NM11046 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 STAND WITH WOMEN AND LGBTQ AMERICANS WHO WANT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE THE HEALTHCARE THEY NEED: Write/Call/ResistBot: Your two senators and one House rep—local office. Write/Call: Acting Secretary, Eric Hargan US Department of Health & Human Services Hubert H Humphrey Building 200 Independence Ave SW Washington, DC 20201 877-696-6775 Script: I oppose the plan that permits discrimination against women and LGBTQ Americans. The new office designated by the president threatens lives and violates the rights of Americans. Please use your position to further equality, a uniquely American value, instead of permitting discrimination under the guise of religion. A doctor’s job is to put patients, not ideology first.

NM11046 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) OPPOSE TRUMPS UNFIT LIFETIME FEDERAL JUDGESHIP APPOINTMENTS: Call/email/Resistbot: Your two senators Script: I am writing to oppose the president's nominees for lifetime federal judgeships. Not only are they mostly-male and mostly white, I oppose pushing through ideologically-biased nominees without proper hearings. I join the 70+ civil rights groups who oppose Eric Dreiband. I also oppose Thomas Farr who Rev. Barber calls "moral poison" and, according to Sen. Cory Booker, “has spent much of his legal career undermining civil rights and voting protections for people of color.” Trumps nominees have had more "not qualified" ratings than any other president's nominees ... yet they have still been put forward. Americans deserve better. We deserve judges that will uphold the full freedoms of our Constitution, not a narrow-minded and racist agenda. We deserve judges who are not tied to the KKK, or partisan interests. Edited January 28, 2018 by NM11046 Link to comment

Script: Hi. I’m calling in support of the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2018 (S. 1917) which is just out of committee.

However, I object to combining it with a second bill that allows concealed carry across state lines (HR 38). Protecting people from gun violence as well as protecting people from domestic violence should both be a priority. Thank you. Link to comment

I'm not a fan of Sinclair and their intent, but I can appreciate the irony of a "scripted" message used to bring down a "scripted" message. Thank you for the links to local news stations, that is helpful. My concern isn't the "message" necessarily, but the ability to create the "norms" for the conversation. Link to comment
