Hello, my name is [name] and I’m a constituent from [your city]. May I speak to the staffer who handles environmental issues? [if not there] May I have their name and email?

I’m calling to ask Senator [name] if he/she supports the confirmation of Scott Pruitt as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency?

[if no] Thank you. I support the senator’s opposition to Mr. Pruitt. I’ll let my friends and family Senator [name] believes in protecting our air, water, and climate.

[if yes or unsure] How does Senator [name] feel about Mr. Pruitt’s 14 lawsuits against the EPA’s actions, including one that would clean smog in our national parks, which he LOST?

Mr. Pruitt has received over $340,000 from fossil fuel industries and according to The Atlantic magazine, used their lawyers to write one of his letters to the EPA. Why does Senator [name] feel Mr. Pruitt will be an effective protector of our air, water, and climate?

I stand with the Sierra Club in opposing Mr. Pruitt as EPA administrator. I’ll let my friend and family know Senator [name] will do little to protect the EPA’s mission.
