Flood Feinstein – Call All Day! Neil Gorsuch is Supremely Extreme

The Senate Judiciary Committee will open hearings on the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to SCOTUS on Monday, March 20^th. Democratic Senators will try to get a fix on Gorsuch’s legal views. We expect Gorsuch will try to say as little as possible.

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

Script: Hi, I’m calling from [zip code] to tell you I am terrified about Gorsuch’s appointment to SCOTUS. He could affect progressive causes, gay and transgender rights, affirmative actions and reproductive rights, just to name a few. Please do all you can to expose his ultra conservatism. Please do all you can to block his nomination. Thank you.

Feinstein on Gorsuch last month: “I think we are dealing with someone who is impressive, so we’ll see.”

Educate yourself on Gorsuch’s conservative positions. He has not ruled on many issues, but the legal road signs are there: Continue reading “Flood Feinstein – Call All Day! Neil Gorsuch is Supremely Extreme” →

Vote NO on Gorsuch for Supreme Court, the Extremist at the Heart of Hobby Lobby

Remember Hobby Lobby? Neil Gorsuch voted in favor of Hobby Lobby when, citing “religious liberty,” it refused to provide contraceptive coverage for its employees.

Gorsuch is a Constitutional originalist, interpreting the Constitution as if we were still living in the 18th century. His Hobby Lobby “religious liberty” decision permitted legalized discrimination against the LGBTQ community and limits to contraceptive access. He will vote against gay marriage, abortion, immigrant and death-with-dignity rights, gun and environmental restrictions and to expand “Citizens United.”

For Senators Feinstein and Harris: (DC switchboard (202) 224-3121, other #’s below.)

Script: I’m [NAME], a constituent. I’m calling to let [Senator’s NAME] know that I do not support Neil Gorsuch’s nomination. I’m concerned that Gorsuch is a Constitutional originalist and out of touch with the modern world. His ultra-conservative, radical views on issues like gun rights, reproductive freedom, and environmental protections do not reflect the views of the majority of Americans.

Oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood!

Paul Ryan’s ACA replacement bill will defund planned parenthood, cutting off critical health care services for millions of low income women and men. https://tinyurl.com/hh4m2kt

Call Representative Brownley and ask her to oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood.

The proposed GOP health care bill is a triple strike against families and reproductive rights for women. It defunds Planned Parenthood, which provides critical health care services (including mammograms and contraceptives) to women. Women would not be able to use tax credits to purchase insurance that includes abortion coverage. And the bill would not provide health insurance to cover maternity costs. This is a bill families cannot afford.

If this dangerous bill becomes law, as many as 2.5 million people will be cut off from essential health care services.

Script: Hi! I am calling from [zip code] to ask Congressman Brownley to oppose ANY health care bill that defunds Planned Parenthood. For a lot of women in this country, Planned Parenthood is the only doctor they have. Thank you.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley: DC (202) 225-5811, Oxnard (805) 379-1779, T.O. (805) 379-1779
