Sample Phone Script to Call Speaker Ryan – (202) 225-0600
[Your call will be answered by a receptionist (or possibly a voicemail system). Simply leave a short message for Speaker Ryan.]
Hello, my name is [NAME] and I am calling from [CITY/TOWN, STATE].
Please schedule a vote on H.Res.154, the Armenian Genocide Truth + Justice Resolution.
Its goal is to improve Armenian-Turkish ties through an honest and just resolution of the Armenian Genocide.
Turkey’s attacking this pro-peace measure, but, thankfully, foreign governments don’t get a veto in the U.S. Congress.
Thank you.
