CALL NOW: Demand your Republican Representative Rein in Trump’s Lawlessness
Congress must pass bills to fully fund the federal government by September 30th or risk a government shutdown. Republicans control both Congress and the White House, so they’re responsible for enacting a budget that keeps the government open. But since any funding bill must clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate, Republicans must compromise with Democrats.
Republicans are hoping Democrats will be too spineless to stop them from passing a MAGA budget that greenlights Trump’s lawless slash and burn of the federal government, but they’re starting to sweat. They’re hearing from more and more constituents who don’t want their elected officials obediently kissing Trump’s butt and rubber-stamping his chaotic descent into authoritarianism. It’s crucial to keep up this pressure and make sure Republicans know their constituents are watching.
If you have a Republican Representative, use this call script to:
- Ask if they will publicly commit to preventing a government shutdown by working with Democrats to rein in Trump’s chaos and lawlessness. Warn them that if Republicans shut down the government, you will hold them accountable for the devastating impacts in your district/state.
- Urge them to restore access to healthcare they’ve ripped away from or jeopardized for millions of Americans. Trump’s billionaire tax scam took a chainsaw to Medicaid and will shutter rural hospitals, and Republicans are threatening to jack up the price of health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Congress must permanently extend the ACA tax credits, and prevent the harms of Trump’s healthcare cuts.

CALL NOW: Demand your Republican Representative Stop MAGA Looting of the Federal Budget
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m calling about the upcoming government funding deadline.
Will Representative [Name] publicly commit to preventing a government shutdown by working with Democrats on a bipartisan budget deal that reins in Trump’s chaos and lawlessness? [Pause for response]
Will Representative [Name] fight for the government funding deal to restore access to healthcare that Republicans have ripped away from or jeopardized for millions of Americans, for example by permanently extending the ACA tax credits? [Pause for response]
I’ll be watching the Representative’s actions. I’m sick of my tax dollars funding Trump’s unconstitutional assault on our democracy, economy, and life-saving programs everyday Americans rely on. Please go after the actual waste, fraud, and abuse his administration is creating day after day. Thank you for your time.
Thank you for calling your Representative! Tell your friends and family to take action as well!
