Urgent Calling Technique !!!

When you call, first politely ask the aid whether the senator supports Dream Act or not.

If yes, thank the senator and urge the senator continue to support it.

If not, try to reason with the aid and ask the senator to support it.


This way is couple times more effective than just saying couple sentenses and hanging up. Get the aids engaged! This method is proven more effetive psychologically.

good idea

Thanks, you're right. It's much better then just saying "please support the dream act bye"
EVERYONE USE THIS!!

If they say they don't support it say something like
"Well please let him know to reconsider because it would help recruitment for the military" etc.

Make sure to point out the hypocrisy of those supporting comprehensive but dream.

make sure you say you support it because of the military option

DEFINATELY.. Say this to all who supported CIR

Yes, please do this! I've been doing that all this time. (I know calls can last seconds but better we hold them on the line longer than the opposition)

Added example everyone can mix it up a bit for themselves:

Good Afternoon/Evening, I'm just calling to find out Senator ____________'s current position on the Dream Act (optional: I believe it is an amendment being attached to the DOD bill *keep them in constant awareness of what we're talking about and let 'em know that you are aware and up to date on the matter as well.) (Mandatory!: I believe it is an amendment being attached to the DOD bill that would further help our military by giving bright and educated undocumented students the ability to join the enlist.)

Answer:No, not supporting

Well, please let the Senator know that she/he has supporters who actually ARE *stress that* in favor of DREAM ACT and would appreciate his/her favorable consideration/ vote in favor of it.

Answer: Yes, in support

Well, please let the Senator know that his/her supporters are proud of his/her stand and we urge him/her to follow through when the voting comes up.

Salutations: I appreciate the work that the staff and the senator have been putting in for our country's benefit. Thanks and have a blessed day.

THE END ...next call.......


-----quick edit to put in military stance. This was all previously copy and pasted from my notepad file, sorry.

A really effective technique I've found is to target the agjobs co-sponsors and CIR ones.
I ask for their position if they say know then i ask:
I understand he supports agjobs/comprehensive immigration reform which would legalize people who came here as adults. But he doesn't support legalizing children brought here who'll serve in the military?
It stumps them every time.
BE SURE TO BEE REALLY NICE THOUGH WHEN SAYING THIS

Ag Jobs Supporters.
