(Ignoramus is the title of a farce by George Ruggle (1575-1622) that was first produced in 1615. The title character, whose name in Latin literally means “we do not know,” is a lawyer who fancies himself to be quite shrewd but is actually foolish and ignorant.)
Minimal Script: I’m calling from [zip code] to urge Sen. [___] vote NO on the latest unqualified nominees for important positions involving environmental policy, including Kathleen Hartnett-White, Andrew Wheeler, William Wehrum, Michael Dourson and Barry Myers.
More script if you want it: These nominees cannot be trusted to protect public health and the environment. Additionally they will not commit to uphold California’s Green House Gas Waiver.
