Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m a constituent of [NAME OF OFFICIAL].
I’m calling to urge [him/her/them] to introduce and pass the Resolution to Restore the Constitution in the [NAME OF LEGISLATIVE BODY].
The United States is in the midst of an authoritarian takeover. The federal executive has abandoned the Constitution—refusing to execute the laws of Congress, violating fundamental rights, and dismantling federal protections our communities depend on.
This Resolution is a critical first step for our state and local governments to defend the rule of law and protect our people.
If for any reason you aren't familiar with the Resolution, you can find the full text of the Resolution and more information at democratism.org. That’s D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-I-S-M dot org.
