Hi <<First Name>>,
Congress is on recess this week so I encourage you to check out yesterday's newsletter, scroll down to the Elections section and sign up to help win critical 2019 elections.
If you want to call your member of Congress, they'll still take your message, it just may take some time before it gets to the member. This week, we'll call to remind them the impeachment inquiry should be thorough, focused and end naturally.
Good luck and let us know if you took action this week by clicking the button below!

Below is our script for the week. Not everyone likes to read from the script, and that's OK! For those not adhering closely to it, the underlined parts are some key phrases that you should try to work into your discussion.
Remember!
- Always say your name and the city and zip code you are calling from.
- Discuss one issue per phone call or email. If you want to discuss multiple issues, it's best to make multiple calls/emails.
- If you get a busy signal, that means your colleagues are doing a good job of sending our message. Try to call back later, call a different day, or send an email.
Script
Step 1: Hi, I'm [NAME] and I live in [ZIP CODE]. I'm part of Indivisible Montgomery and I'd like to leave a message.
Step 2: The impeachment inquiry is an important step to hold President Trump and his administration accountable. As such, the inquiry should be thorough, it should focus on the wrongdoing at hand and it should have a natural end, not some predetermined end date. Will the Congressman commit to supporting an impeachment inquiry that is thorough, focused and ends naturally?

After-hours activism
Some of you aren't able to make phone calls or send emails during the workday. That's fine! You can still make your voice heard either by calling the office and leaving a voice message or by sending an email. These are still effective ways to get our point across, and you should take the time to do it!
Federal employees
If you are a federal employee, you still have the right to make your voice heard as a constituent. However, there are a few restrictions you need to pay attention to. This article has some helpful information on how to be an activist while being a federal employee. You are part of an important constituency with an important viewpoint. Exercise your rights to make your voice heard!
