if you don't want to hand @indivisibleteam your phone number, but still want to avoid the arbitrary application of the "terrorist" label, you can instead go to @5calls .

Here is their script. https://5calls.org/issue/stop-hr-9495-nonprofit-terrorism/

@draNgNon @indivisibleteam @5calls for some reason 5calls sent me to call my senators about a House bill. Called my rep directly with the same comment though

@aburka @piebob You should call both for this one! It's in the House right now but we want to start making noise in the Senate before it's introduced there

@5calls @piebob you need to tweak the script still then -- it doesn't make sense to ask a senator to vote against an HR. And much more importantly, it didn't even offer me my House rep at all!

@aburka @5calls @piebob I noticed that and was really surprised. I copied the script and called my rep

And got a person which flummoxed me tbh

@draNgNon @aburka @piebob it’s passed the house now so we’ll rework the script to be more senate specific 👍 thanks for your feedback here!

@aburka @draNgNon @piebob actually yes! I didn’t realize it was a suspend vote. Still good to call for now

@5calls @draNgNon @piebob yes it's confusing. Do suspend votes have to be unanimous, or is it a supermajority or something?

@aburka @draNgNon @piebob suspend rules have limited debate and no amendments, and require 2/3 to pass. Generally used for uncontroversial stuff!

@5calls @draNgNon @piebob welp this is apparently not as controversial as we'd like

cmon Dems, we already lost, there's no more harm now in voting based on principles instead of the bill title for once

@aburka @draNgNon @piebob you know how it goes when people trot out “but it’s for terrorism!” 🫠

@draNgNon @5calls @piebob I got a person too because I called the local office

Asked if I could just know his position on the bill first, but they didn't know, so I read off the script. Friendly interaction overall
