******** BASIC SCRIPT ********
“Hi my name is (first/last name).
I’m a constituent from (city/state).
Who am I speaking with please? (Get the spelling, 1st/last name.)
I am a concerned voter calling to let my Representative know that I want him/her to vote”NO on Fast Track,” also known as Trade Promotion Authority. The Bill will be introduced soon.
Let me be clear: I am “not” calling about the TPP, just Fast Track.
What *is* the Representative’s position on Fast Track?
[Wait for an answer.]
Has s/he signed either the DeLauro, Jones or Gibson letter committing to vote AGAINST Fast Track?
[Wait for a definitive answer. Do not settle for less.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[IF s/he HAS signed DeLauro/Jones/Gibson, then…]
“That’s perfect! Please THANK the Representative for
me and let him/her know that I will be watching him/her
to keep his/her word to Voting NO on Fast Track.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[IF s/he has NOT signed a letter, then…]
As a constituent,
I want my Rep. to call Representative Miller’s office NOW
to sign the DeLauro-Miller letter.
Both Democrats & Republicans may now sign Rep. Miller’s letter.
I expect to see my Representative’s name on that letter ASAP!
I will call every day until s/he has made this public commitment.
Under NO circumstances is Fast Track to be used.
There is NO acceptable version of Fast Track! Period.
Thank you.”
