Hello! My name is [your name] and I live in [city, state]. My zip code is [zip code].

I am appalled by Putin's war against Ukraine and his continuing attacks against the Ukrainian civilian population. It is evident that the US needs to place more pressure on Russia to end the war. Recently a bicameral and bipartisan bill was introduced to impose sanctions on Russia if it refuses to make peace, or if it re-invades Ukraine after a peace deal is reached. I'm calling to ask [representative's name] to co-sponsor the Sanctioning Russia Act, [HR 2548 if calling a Representative, S 1241 if calling a Senator]. Thank you.

Feel free to improvise and don't be nervous. Calling may seem stressful at first, but it's really easy.

You can call weekly or even every day. Calling regularly is very effective because it tells the representative that you're organized and dedicated. Aides tally all calls, but they take particular note of people who call regularly. The biggest threat to a representative during elections are enthusiastic constituents with a grudge. Your voice matters.
