Coalition on Human Needs:
Call Your U.S. Representative And Senators Toll-Free This Week
1-800-426-8073 (generously provided by the American Friends Service Committee)
The entire nation is talking about the movement, led by the Emergency Campaign for America's Priorities, to stop the immoral budget being pushed this week by right-wing leaders in Congress. To see news coverage from around America of the National Week of Prayer and Action for Compassionate Priorities, click here
Over a hundred events all over the country are being organized to press Congress to reject cutting services for people in need and handing more tax breaks to the wealthy. To find an event near you, click here:
We need to generate thousands of calls so that members of Congress cannot ignore people in need, cannot ignore religious leaders, and cannot ignore their constituents. For a flier with the following information about the call-in, click here:
Millions of people are depending on you to call -- and it only takes a minute:
Use the toll-free number to reach the Capitol switchboard. After you are connected with a staff person at the office of your Representative or Senator, tell them:
"My name is _______________ and I live in (your town/city). I would like Representative/Senator [name] to vote NO on the final version of the budget cuts (the deal between the House and Senate bills - H.R.4241 and S.1932 ) . Do not allow billions in cuts to vital services for vulnerable people, including Medicaid, SSI, foster care, Food Stamps, and child support. These cuts are the wrong priorities. I also would like the Representative/Senator to announce to constituents that he/she opposes this bill."
If you can't get through on that line, please call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.
The toll-free number is provided courtesy of the American Friends Service Committee which has launched a budget campaign, www.saveourservices.org. AFSC welcomes groups to circulate and use the toll-free number in support of the non-partisan budget goals towards which CHN always works and without linking the alert to a website soliciting donations or actions which may be used to support partisan lobbying or work.
