Representative Opposition Call Guide for Big Beautiful Bill
Need help finding the *professional* words to say to your representatives? Here you go.
Shit is hitting the fan right now. Here’s how to word your anger clear, concise, and professionally on a few topics.
🗣️ Tips Before You Call
• Be polite and succinct—staffers appreciate clarity.
• Leave a voicemail if you get a staffer—make your ask clear and your contact info available.
• Make multiple calls to both Senators and your House Rep.
• Track responses and follow up with letters or emails if needed.
“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City/Town, ZIP]. I’m calling today because I strongly oppose the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ that President Trump is trying to push forward for the reasons as following.”
🚨 Key Points to Raise (choose one, many, or all to speak on.)
1. Sell‑Off of Public Lands
• “The bill includes provisions to force the sale of millions of acres of federal public lands, threatening wildlife habitats, public access for hikers and hunters, and rural economies that rely on tourism and recreation. Additionally, the creation of public lands and the jobs that came with it was a HUGE factor in stabilizing our economy after the Great Depression. It is apparent this administration is trying to drive us into another Gilded Age, which will have dire consequences for those of us who actually pay taxes that fund (name of politician’s) salary, thus resulting in public positions such as yours and the representatives, to become obsolete as there will no longer be funding to pay public servants.”
2. Massive Medicaid & SNAP Cuts
“It proposes draconian cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and nutrition assistance, potentially stripping health coverage from millions and pushing rural hospitals and low-income families further into the depths of poverty, and onto our streets. This allows for our prisons to fill up as homelessness becomes a crime more and more places, reinforcing our modern day slavery system.”
3. Tax Cuts for the Wealthy & Corporations
“While expanding tax breaks for the rich, it dramatically increases the national debt by $2–4 trillion, shifting the burden away from the wealthy.”
4. Climate Rollbacks & Fossil Fuel Subsidies
“It undermines clean energy tax credits, opens federal lands to drilling, and would expand fossil fuel extraction—jeopardizing efforts to combat climate change.”
5. Authoritarian Power Grab & Project 2025 Alignment
“The bill includes forced border militarization, taxpayer-funded ‘Golden Dome’ missile systems, expanded executive powers, and judicial limitations that echo the authoritarian playbook of Project 2025—threatening democratic norms.”
6. Treaty Violations of Indigenous Groups
“Part of how Trump proposes to pay for everything is by taking money from necessary, already funded programs, as he has done with the Columbia River Salmon Restoration Project. This is a direct violation of article 4 of the constitution, which states treaties are the “supreme law of the land.” These Native communities, as well as ALL Americans have the rights to harvestable foods natural to our ecosystems, and by taking away power from the tribes to help restore these ecosystems back to their healthy ways, they are violating the rights of all Americans abilities to survive off the land. Which is fundamentally important to individual freedoms of surviving the real world. I ask ______ to immediately urge congress to restore the project funding.”
🧩 Direct Ask: Oppose Now
“Please stand against this bill in the Senate/House. It consolidates power in a way that mirrors authoritarian governance and causes irreversible harm to families, rural communities, the environmenta, and our democracy.”
⚖️ Demand Accountability: Call for Impeachment
“Given the leadership’s alignment with Project 2025, their use of the military to suppress dissent, and this bill’s clear effort to undermine democratic and judicial checks, I also urge Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump and any affiliated officials who broke their oaths to the Constitution.”
“Thank you for your time and for representing our community’s values—protecting democracy, public lands, healthcare, and working families. I’ll be watching closely and will hold you accountable at the polls. Goodbye.”
Keep fighting the good fight, and get outside and enjoy your community. We all need that more than anything right now.
