Take these three easy steps to join FCNL's national call-in day and urge your representative to vote against more money for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Step 1: Make Sure You Know Your Representative's Name
When you call, you will need to ask for your representative by name. Look it up here.
Step 2: Make Your Call
Call 800-517-5696. When the switchboard operator answers, ask for your representative's office. Then give the person who answers the phone this mesasge.
- Hello. My name is _________________. I live in ___________________.
- I’m calling today to urge Representative [NAME] to vote against the war supplemental for Iraq and Afghanistan. This bill puts the emphasis on war fighting and doesn’t provide enough funds for development and diplomacy.
- Instead of voting more money for war, I urge Representative [NAME] to become an original cosponsor of Rep. Jim McGovern 's bill to require President Obama to present Congress with an Afghanistan exit strategy. The U.S. needs an exit strategy in Afghanistan.
- Thank you for reporting my requests to Representative [NAME].
If you get a busy signal at any point, try back in a few minutes.
