  • Everyone needs to write their reps, somebody offered this script in the other thread, I’m going to use it and others should too:

    'My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):

    "I’m just calling to share that I do not support Hakeem Jeffries as the Speaker of the incoming House.  Mr. Jeffries has shown for years he is unwilling to fight for causes that are right, only what he thinks he can easily win.  He cannot change the status quo and electing him speaker will sabotage the hard work voters have done.

    As my representative, please support a new leader who will immediately and vehemently stop the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and illegal actions, including:

    (1) Immediately initiate investigations with aggressive timelines and legislation to prosecute and/or impeach corrupt officials, stop unconstitutional ICE and White House immigration killings and kidnappings, and create a strategy to actually serve justice even without the DOJ’s participation, including coordinating with state AGs;

    (2) Introduce federal legislation to mirror Montana’s rejection of corporate and billionaire campaign funding;

    (3) Introduce legislation to create Medicare for All or a similar public option for healthcare; and

    (4) Immediately schedule votes and draft superseding legislation regarding Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and funding for Ukraine.

    (5) Immediately schedule votes to stop funding the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

    Mr. Jeffries has demonstrated neither the will nor the strategic ability to implement any of the above.  Please do not support Mr. Jeffries for House speaker."’
