Hi! My name is (first name) and I'm a volunteer working to support President Obama's plan to get the economy moving again. Have you heard much about Obama's budget proposal? (let them say a few sentences but keep it very brief)

Well, what's exciting is that President Obama's budget creates jobs, begins to repair our economy, and sets new priorities for our country like fixing health care and education. But you know it won't be simple to pass.

Insurance corporations, energy companies and other lobbyists are already trying to kill those ideas.

So, Here's where you come in:

Can you call your Congressman’s office right now and say "Congressman, Please Pass Obama's Budget because we need the new ideas that are in it"?

I can connect you right to the office now. It's OK to leave a message on the voicemail - they appreciate hearing from you. I'll pass you through now.
