The Resolution to Strengthen all Other Resolutions: H.R.1 and the Future of American Democracy
In this episode, Caleb and Thomas cover the extremely important House Resolution 1, also known as the For the People Act, which would work to strengthen American Democracy and allow for other important pieces of legislation to be passed. That's it, that's the tweet. They go what the act does, what response it has gotten, its impact in South Carolina, and what we can do to pass it.
Script: “Hello! My name is (you, duh) and I am a constituent of the state you represent in the Senate how are you doing today. I am calling today to let you know that I am in support of the For the People Act (H.R. 1) that will be voted on soon by the Senate. I would like to call approving that bill because (list reasons if you would like) and I hope the senator decides to vote for such an advantageous bill that would strengthen democracy and improve the lives of South Carolinians all across the state."
