"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I'm a constituent from [YOUR CITY/STATE]. My zip code is [ZIP CODE].

I'm calling about the reconciliation bill that's being considered by the Rules Committee tomorrow and expected for a floor vote this week. I'm deeply concerned about how this bill would harm our community.

[CHOOSE ONE PERSONAL IMPACT]:

• The Head Start center in [LOCAL CENTER NAME] serves [NUMBER] children in our district and would face closure under this bill. My [FAMILY MEMBER/NEIGHBOR] relies on this program to work and support their family.
• As someone caring for both my children and my elderly parent who relies on Medicaid for nursing care, this bill would make it impossible for families like mine to make ends meet.
• Our local hospital in [TOWN] has already had to cut back services, and these Medicaid cuts would push it toward closure, leaving our entire county without emergency care.
• The data shows the impact to our state will be [SPECIFIC STATE IMPACT FROM DATA PROVIDED ABOVE].

I'm asking Representative [NAME] to:

1. Vote against this bill when it comes to the floor
2. Use all available time to speak about these harmful impacts during floor debate
3. Demand a full economic impact analysis for our district before any vote

Can you tell me where the Representative stands on this bill and whether they'll speak out about these harmful cuts during debate?"

"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I'm a constituent from [YOUR CITY/STATE]. My zip code is [ZIP CODE].

I'm calling about the reconciliation bill that recently passed the House. This bill would devastate our community by [SPECIFIC STATE IMPACT FROM DATA PROVIDED ABOVE].

I'm asking Senator [NAME] to:

1. Commit to a thorough review of how this bill affects our state specifically
2. Hold public hearings with testimony from affected communities
3. Reject any bill that eliminates Head Start, cuts Medicaid, or raises costs for students

The rushed process in the House prevented proper analysis. The Senate must not make the same mistake. Will Senator [NAME] commit to a transparent process that allows constituents to understand and weigh in on these changes before voting?"
