Call Senator Harris and ask her to co-sponsor the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act

Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to disclose and divest from any potential financial conflicts of interest. No more stalling! The Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act of 2017 would legally force him to do so. Senator Diane Feinstein is an original cosponsor of this legislation, but Senator Kamala Harris has yet to sign on.  Let’s call her and ask for her support.

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask (Sen. Harris)  to SUPPORT Senate Bill S65. The President needs to cut ties and come clean as a basic condition of his job.

Harris Contacts: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

Reject Trump’s Budget cuts to the NIH; our lives depend on it!

Trump’s proposed 18% budget cuts to the National Institute of Health (NIH) will impact research for cancer, Alzheimer’s, Ebola and Zika vaccines and HIV/AIDS. 90% of the NIH budget is focused on research and is so important, that Congress recently voted them a raise. Vice-President Joe Biden said, “This would set.. biomedical research, back 15 years.”

Call all three Members of Congress

Script: I’m calling to express my support of the National Institute of Health and to request that you protect its funding so that it can continue cutting-edge medical research projects.

Demand an Independent Russian Election Interference Commission! Support S. 27

Ask Senator Kamala Harris to demand a 9/11-style, bipartisan independent commission to investigate Russian election interference. Senator Harris has still not cosponsored S. 27, which would establish an independent commission to investigate Russian election interference. Urge her to do so.

Call Senator Harris: DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (916) 448-2787, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask Senator Harris to cosponsor Senate Bill S27. Please step up. We need an independent commission to get to the bottom of the Russia issue.

Vote “NO” on Scott Gottlieb to head the FDA! Yet Another Trump Industry Insider

Scott Gottlieb is yet another industry insider nominated by Trump to oversee the companies and investment firms that have paid him millions of dollars. After a lucrative career serving the interests of big-pharma we cannot trust Gottlieb to work in our interests as head of the Food and Drug Administration.

Call Senators Feinstein and Harris!

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask Senator (Feinstein/Harris) to vote No on Scott Gottlieb to head the FDA. I’m concerned that his allegiance to big-pharma will be stronger than his will to work in the interest of the American people. Thank you.

Ask Sen. Feinstein to filibuster Gorsuch! Insist on a 60 vote threshold for confirmation (2 of 2 today)

Flood Feinstein! Call all day! 36 Democrats have committed to filibustering Gorsuch. Senator Feinstein is not yet among them.

Flood Feinstein: DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430

The US Senate Judiciary Committee will meet Monday, April 3, to consider Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court nomination. Republicans need eight Democrats to join them to end the expected filibuster by invoking cloture. As of this writing, only one of our senators, Kamala Harris, has indicated she is a firm “no” on Gorsuch. Senator Dianne Feinstein told reporters on March 27, “…let’s wait for next week, OK? And then I’ll make myself very clear.”

OK, Senator Feinstein, it’s decision time.

Script: I’m calling from (ZIP) to ask Senator Feinstein to FILIBUSTER Neil Gorsuch. He is the face of corporations and billionaires who want to deform our civil rights for generations. Senator Feinstein: filibuster for our rights! Insist that his confirmation pass the 60-vote threshold!
