**Update** The script at the bottom has been updated for where they are with the process now.
There’s a fight in the USA 🇺🇸 that you may not even realize is happening. Our government is set up phenomenally; and, we can avoid a trucker convoy if our representatives will do just that— represent WE THE PEOPLE. However, they can’t do that unless they hear from you!
Back in December, congress voted to keep funding our government through February 18. **Update** now March 11. That date is quickly approaching and behind the scenes they are gearing up to discuss the government budget again. Some want to stop the budget bill from being passed and some don’t. Here’s the important part— if this bill is STOPPED, the illegal mandates can’t be enforced, and they can hold the budget hostage until the mandates are axed COMPLETELY, which is what we need terribly for change to happen for this nightmare we’ve been enduring! This does mean the government will be shut down (also, not uncommon; happens more than we realize each time budget approval time comes around each year.)
THIS, my friends, is how we fight in the USA! Regardless of your stance on the illegal measures our government is trying to enforce, call your senators and representatives! Encourage them to HEAR 👏 YOUR 👏 VOICE!!! You are a free American after all! And let your kids listen in on the conversations; they need to know how this works!
I know this is extremely intimidating- in my 40 years I’ve never experienced needing to do this. So we are all learning. But to help you, I’ve drafted a script that I am using for my family. Feel free to use it for yours, too! Obviously change the wording to fit your story but it’s GO TIME, friends. The script is below. Go! Make the calls! Godspeed. 🇺🇸

Script for writing/ calling/ texting your senators and representatives:
Dear (Senator/ Representative) (insert their last name here),
I’m writing today because my family is directly affected by the POTUS’s executive order federal mandates: I am aware that there are budget discussions on the horizon that could potentially block these mandates. You have taken an oath to be the voice of your people, chosen by us; so please, hear our voices in this, and specifically mine, right now– reject these illegal measures placed upon the lives of American citizens by opposing all funding for the enforcement of the mandates! It’s time for decisions to be made and handled– no more continuing resolutions, extending this nightmare– not knowing whether we will keep our jobs and be able to provide for our families. I call it a nightmare because that’s what it has been for my family directly, since the executive order announcement in September 2021.
I humbly ask that you stand alongside the congressmen who are fighting for freedoms– to acknowledge all sides of the vaccine issue, allow Americans to continue to have a choice, and end the mandates. Also, I urge you to think of our children and do what’s right for them– they deserve to grow up with the same freedoms that we have been afforded in our lives, the same that our founding fathers envisioned for their children.
Sincerely,
(sign your name)
