![Call your Senators on the PRESS Act (11.14.2024)
YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [address/zip code].
YOU: I’m calling, because I’m calling on [SENATOR] to support the PRESS Act. It’s been almost a full year since the House passed the PRESS Act, and the time to pass this bill is clearly running out.
YOU: The fact that the bill passed in the House under unanimous consent and the fact that Durbin and Graham are both in support of the bill and can help usher it through Senate Judiciary, means that the Senate should take it up on the floor as soon as possible.
FOR SENATE DEMS: I am calling on [SENATOR] to urge Leader Schumer to also prioritize this bill, along with judicial nominations, and get it passed quickly.
FOR SENATE GOP: I am calling on [SENATOR] to vote for the bill once it comes to the floor.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS/LET THEM KNOW IF YOU WANT FOLLOW UP]
