ACTION ALERT: Call On Bolton NOW

Personal forward, please pass along…

National Bolton Call-In Days This Week!
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY

When John Bolton was nominated to be our UN Ambassador, you sprung into action to tell your Senators that a UN-basher must not fill this important post. You made your voices heard. As a result, the battle over Bolton’s nomination and over U.S. engagement in the world has become one of the major stories of 2005.

This week is the big vote and we're joining pro-global engagement groups across the country to call on the Senate to stop Bolton’s confirmation.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO MAKE THIS IMPORTANT CALL TO YOUR SENATORS.

It’s easy. Just call the number and use the script: You can use the U.S. Capitol Switchboard to help you make the calls: 202-224-3121.

Remember, when you’re on the phone with a Senator’s office, you won’t be speaking with the Senator. You’ll be calling a staff assistant whose job is to answer the phone, find out what YOU care about, and pass your views along to the Senator. Here’s a script that you can use if you’re not sure what to say:

CALLER: “Hello, my name is (name) and I live in (hometown). I’m calling because I would like the Senator to stop John Bolton from becoming UN Ambassador. We need an Ambassador we can trust to promote U.S. policy, not espouse his own radical views.”

STAFF ASSISTANT: Will either state the Senator’s position or volunteer to pass along your views.

CALLER: “Great, thanks. Let the Senator know I’ll be keeping track of his/her stance on the issue.”

“The [UN] Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories.  If you lost 10 stories today, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
