I like the idea but I couldn’t read most of it. Black background with dark red text may look dramatic, but it is hard to read. Please consider a more accessible color scheme. (Reading on an iPad mini).

To other subscribers, please consider passing this on to your local Indivisible groups and your local Sierra Club chapter if you are active with them.

To Will, thanks, and are emails to our Senators not just as good as a call? Maria Cantwell just got one from me.

Thanks, Steve! Calls are best we've found because someone in their office has to log it and listen and has a better overall effect as emails are easier to swat and ignore but every little bit helps!

This is really a fantastic investigation and tool that we must spread widely. It really gives me hope that we can interrupt this corruption game. Deep gratitude, Will and friends.

Thanks so much, Bill!! We are determined to stop this one. We'll be going all out to do so but it will take all of us.

Great idea. I will use it. Thank you but please design your tools so they are easier to read. Maybe start by removing the black background and increasing the letter size.

Will Pattiz's avatar

Thanks, Linda! We'll do our best and see if we can do a light option as well. Stay tuned.

Thank you; and I believe it is Sen. Cortez Masto (not Rosen) who sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Will Pattiz's avatar

Thank you, Nancy! Great catch. Corrected!

Thank you Janni!!

Thank you for this. The phone script seems like it is cut off mid sentence, however. Is there a way to see the entire script?

Will Pattiz's avatar

Hi Jill - just checked it and it's working for me but will troubleshoot to see if we can replicate the error. Here's the phone script just in case:

"Hi, my name is [name] from [city, state]. I'm calling to urge the Senator to oppose Scott Socha's nomination to lead the National Park Service. His company sued the Park Service for $51 million. He has zero conservation experience and would regulate his own employer. Our parks deserve a real leader, not a corporate insider. Thank you."

Thanks, Shannon!!

So Frackenlooper is a no? He’s not listed.

Will Pattiz's avatar

Lol – he's on our tracker but no word from him yet. We are hopeful he's a no but TBD.
