Call Senate HELP Committee Chair, Lamar Alexander (R-TN) 202-224-4944 re: Jeff Sessions suitupnation.org
Sessions Script thesixyfive.org (edited)
I'm <______>, a constituent. I want Senator Alexander to vote AGAINST Jeff Session's confirmation. The Attorney General must make sure that our laws apply equally to ALL Americans, and Session's record shows he's not up to the task. In addition to the accusations of racism that resulted in his rejection for federal judgeship, he has a long history of civil and human rights opposition. He has staunchly opposed immigration reform, the Voting Rights Act, and efforts to address pay equity for women. In addition, he supported a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, voted against expanding hate crimes to include sexual orientation, and criticized a federal law that protects disabled children in the classroom. Jeff Session's values are in direct opposition to an America that upholds liberty and justice for all. I expect Senator Alexander to reject Session's confirmation. Thank you for your time.

Call Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, Chuck Grassley (R-IA) 202-224-3744 re: Betsy DeVos suitupnation.org
DeVos script thesixyfive.org (edited)
I'm <______>, a constituent. I'm <an educator / a parent / an advocate for education> and I want Senator Grassley to stop Betsy DeVos's confirmation. DeVos doesn't have an education degree, teaching experience, or any experience with the public school system. Rather, she's a powerful donor who advocates for school choice, which is useless without regard for school quality. Instead of specializing in pedagogy or curriculum, DeVos's skillset is commandeering public funding for private education. She was a key player in shaping the Michigan charter school system, which is severely lacking in oversight, demanding little accountability for how tax dollars are spent or how well students are educated. I don't want to see the same thing happen nationally, and I expect Senator Grassley to take a stand for quality education. America's students and teachers deserve better than DeVos!
