Script: I am urging CA Attorney General Xavier Becerra (800-952-5225) to join the attorneys general of Massachusetts and New York in their investigation into Exxon efforts to mislead the public about the effects of fossil fuels on our climate. Exxon may still be perpetrating this fraudulent scheme on investors and the public. If so, they must be stopped and prosecuted.

UPDATE: Recess has been “technically” cancelled!
Script: Hi, I’m calling to ask Sen. [___] to urge Sen. McConnell to keep the Senate technically in session throughout the August recess period. Then Trump won’t have the opportunity to push Mueller out while nobody’s watching.

More than $1 billion was spent on California campaigns in the last two elections, much of it hiding behind misleading names. It’s corrupting our democracy. AB 249, the California DISCLOSE Act, forces ballot measure ads and SuperPAC attack ads to show their true funders. Right now it has stalled in the Senate. Call to get it moving.
Script: I’m calling to tell Senator Jackson to vote “YES” on AB 249. We voters need fair and accurate information about the sponsors of the barrage of political advertising we face.
Call Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson: SAC (916) 651-4019, SB (805) 965-0862, OX (805)988-1940

H.R. 2090 is a “solution” in search of a problem. Instead of requiring photo ID’s to discourage minorities and the poor from voting, Congress should invest in in updating and securing our nation’s voting systems. Voter ID laws only serve to marginalize already marginalized communities. Making it harder for US citizens to vote is un-American.
Script: I’m calling Rep (____) to vote NO on H.R. 2090, the Election Integrity Act. Some Americans can’t afford two hours off work to get to a distant center to get a photo ID. This law amounts to a poll tax penalizing the poorest Americans.
Call Rep. Julia Brownley: (CA-26): DC (202) 225-5811, Oxnard (805) 379-1779, T.O. (805) 379-1779

The new House Financial Services spending bill makes sweeping changes to the financial regulatory system by revising the protections that were put in place after the 2008-2009 economic crash. It sneaks in 88 pages of the odious and misleading HR 10 – “Financial Choice Act” to control and weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and the SEC regulations that prevent commercial banks from trading for their own gain. This way, they can still grab power even if the Senate refuses to pass HR 10.
Script: I’m calling to ask Rep. [____] to oppose the Financial Services 2018 spending bill’s funding changes and new enforcement limitations on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other banking regulators. Dodd-Frank was put into place to prevent another recession and to protect us from predatory financial practices.
