Thanks for Making Those Calls!

Published by Sue Udry at January 8, 2017

Thanks for calling your Senators to tell them to oppose the nominations of Jeff Sessions and Mike Pompeo.

If you haven’t yet made your calls, here is the necessary information:

Call your Senators, tell them to oppose the nomination of torture apologists to the cabinet. Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your senator’s office (you will have to call twice to speak to each of your Senators). Not sure who your Senators are? Click here.

Tell the person who answers the phone:

I am a constituent of Senator ____, and I am calling to ask him/her to oppose the nominations of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General and Mike Pompeo for CIA Director.[It is optional to give a reason why, in general the staff person will not record your reason. You can explain your concern about their support for unconstitutional policies including torture, mass surveillance and hostility toward equal protection for racial and religious minorities, or other concerns you may have.]

Thank you!
