Resources for calling -

Stance, the app that lets you record a message and then keeps calling your rep/senator until you get through.

Suggested script for calling House members who voted for it:
“Hi, I’m [your name] and I’m a constituent from [your town.] I’m calling to say that I’m furious that Representative [Rep Name] voted for the American Health Care Act without even waiting for a CBO score to find out how people in [his or her] district would be impacted. This is going to effect millions of people’s health and it’s absolutely shameful that Rep. [Rep Name] voted to force it through with no debate or hearings. I’ll be voting against Rep. [Rep Name] in November* for this vote and I’m going to encourage my friends and neighbors to do the same.”
*Possible addition here: "and I've donated to support the Democrat who'll be running against [him/her]"

Angrier script from tumblr (along with tweets about the importance of contacting the ones who voted for it):
Hi. I’m calling to register my anger and disappointment at Rep. ____’s Yes vote on the AHCA. [I/my loved ones] am now at risk of losing my insurance, and I am appalled that social programs that personally affect me and my loved ones will be stripped in order to provide tax breaks to the wealthy. Rep. ____ should be ashamed of himself. I and my community will not forget this vote. Will you please take down my information and send me confirmation that the Congressman is listening to constituents? Thanks.
