Hey gang, are you ready to make a phone call or two today?
Right now, top Republicans AND Democrats (can you believe it?!) are calling for investigations into the Trump administration’s ties to Russia. Please take a second to call your reps and express your support for an investigation - ESPECIALLY if you have a Republican rep! If the impeachment train is going to gain any momentum anytime soon, THIS IS THE MOMENT. Please give the train a push, by calling and registering your support for an independent, bipartisan investigation!
Here’s an easy script to use when you call, if you aren’t sure what to say (via 5calls.org). If you end up leaving a voicemail, please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to express my support for a comprehensive and independent investigation of the Trump administration’s ties to Russia, including testimony from former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Thank you for your hard work answering the phones.
Here’s a quick way to find your representatives’ number:

Just to be very clear, colluding with a foreign government to undermine American Democracy is treason. This is not a partisan issue, nor is it a crime for which the proper response is you lose your job and that’s it.
Two additional numbers to call:
The House Oversight Committee: (202) 225-5074
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Chair: (202) 225-7751
Script: Hi, my name is… and I am a constituent from… I am calling to ask that the committee immediately insist on an investigation of President Trump’s ties to Russia both during and after his campaign – by an independent Special Prosecutor or independent commission, and not overseen by Jeff Sessions. I also ask that Chairman Chaffetz demand the release of the President’s tax returns to ascertain the extent of his financial ties to Russia. Our democracy is on the line. It is time to put partisan games aside and take a stand for America. In light of Michael Flynn’s resignation and new evidence of ties between the Trump campaign and Russian agents, anything less than an immediate independent investigation is unacceptable.
