“Hi, I’m a constituent from [zip]. My name is ______.
I’m calling about the arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, which I find extremely alarming. The decision by the DOJ and the FBI to arrest a sitting judge fits into a deeply concerning pattern of lawless behavior from the Trump Administration that threatens our system of checks and balances and Americans’ fundamental freedoms.
Trump is not a king. His relentless and dangerous attacks on the judicial system, from flouting court orders to targeting judges with whom he disagrees, must cease immediately. This calculated political theater is designed to intimidate judges who don’t do what Trump wants. It’s outrageous and it needs to stop.
I want the [Congressmember/Senator] to call for the charges against Judge Dugan to be dropped at once. Thanks.”

“It’s vitally important that [the senator/congresswoman] join Senator Van Hollen and work to rescue Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. I also ask her to:
Forcefully speak out against Trump’s unconstitutional plan to send U.S. citizens, which he calls ‘homegrown criminals,’ to a foreign gulag.
Demand a complete shutdown of all detainees being sent to foreign prisons.
Hold the administration accountable for defying Supreme Court orders by supporting impeachment and conviction of Trump and other Cabinet officials responsible for this unconstitutional act.
If the Trump administration is allowed to traffic an innocent man like Abrego Garcia to a foreign gulag, they will be emboldened to do the same to others. This illegal and unconstitutional practice must be stopped. I expect immediate, strong action.”

“I demand that the [senator/congresswoman] support bipartisan legislation like the Trade Review Act of 2025 to reclaim Congress’ authority over U.S. trade policy and block Trump’s destructive and nonsensical tariffs. These tariffs are a multi-trillion dollar tax increase on Americans and are already wreaking havoc on our economy. These tariffs must be stopped before things get worse.”

Voice-record your support for funding public media — including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund local public stations such as Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) in our neck of the woods. It’s almost time for Congress to decide which entities get how much funding for fiscal year 2026. Public media’s funding has been threatened in recent years. That trend is only expected to accelerate this year.
