    Just wanted to share each of these senators contact information for you all + a script to use when calling. Join me in calling their offices today, tomorrow, and everyday.

    Sponsor:

    Marsha Blackburn [R-TN]: https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/call-me

    Cosponsors:

    Ted Cruz [R-TX]: https://www.cruz.senate.gov/contact

    Mike Lee [R-UT]: https://www.lee.senate.gov/contact

    Cindy Hyde-Smith [R-MS]: https://www.hydesmith.senate.gov/offices

    Thomas Cotton [R-AR]: https://www.cotton.senate.gov/contact

    Katie Britt [R-AL]: https://www.britt.senate.gov/contact/

    Script: “Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a resident of [City/State]. I am calling today to express my strong opposition to the recently proposed legislation that would penalize citizens for protesting in or near court buildings and highways. Could you please pass along my message to [Senator’s Name]?”

    Reason for Call: “This legislation poses a serious threat to our First Amendment rights, which protect our ability to peacefully assemble and express our views. Protesting near court buildings is an important form of free speech, especially when citizens are trying to draw attention to issues of justice, accountability, or human rights.”

    Highlight Concerns: “I believe that this law could have a chilling effect on public protest and undermine our democratic principles. Penalizing peaceful protestors limits the fundamental freedoms that this country was built upon. We should be encouraging open dialogue and transparency, not silencing those who want to make their voices heard on critical issues.”

    Call to Action: “I urge [Senator’s Name] to oppose this bill and stand up for the rights of American citizens to freely express their concerns and hold institutions accountable. Will you please make sure my opposition is recorded and shared with [Senator’s Name]?”

    Closing: “Thank you for your time. I appreciate you listening to my concerns and hope that [Senator’s Name] will take a strong stand against this harmful legislation.”

    There is no way this will hold up in court. It’s a clear violation of the 1st amendment.

    I maybe I’m missing something, the key piece to this is regarding the obstruction of interstate highways as a mode of protest?

    It’s already against the law. This bill increases the maximum sentence from one year to five.

    USC 18:1507 IS ALREADY AN INFRINGEMENT ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT

    Aren’t these the things police officers do, when there’s an accident on the highway or road?
