Good [morning/afternoon/evening], I’m calling as a constituent of [Senator/Representative LAST NAME].

IF YOU SPEAK TO A STAFFER:

Thank you so much for your service. As I mentioned, I’m calling as a constituent. Could you tell me if [Senator/Representative LAST NAME] supports our freedom to birth control? 

I’d like to leave a message for [Senator/Representative LAST NAME]. I’m asking them to support legislation codifying our freedom as Tennesseans to access birth control. A majority of Tennesseans, across all party lines, support and use birth control, including “the pill,” IUDs, and Plan B. I can be reached at [PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL], and look forward to discussing this issue with them directly.

As a constituent, I support our freedom to birth control, and I’m asking you to stand with your constituents on this important issue. A majority of Tennesseans, across all party lines, support and use birth control. [INSERT PERSONAL REASONS FOR SUPPORTING OUR FREEDOM TO CONTRACEPTION]. Next legislative session, will you support legislation codifying our freedom as Tennesseans to birth control? I look forward to staying in touch and discussing this issue further. I can be reached at [PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL].
