![Urgent CTA: RFK Jr Moving to Destroy CDC. Call Your Reps
Hello my name is [$NAME]. I am a constituent calling from [$CITY/TOWN, $ZIPCODE]. I'm calling to urge [the Senator / the Representative] to demand the removal of RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary.
RFK Jr. is a clear and present danger not just to the health of the American people but to the entire world. Firing CDC Director Dr. Monarez because she was carrying out her duty to ensure that life-saving, safe, and effective vaccines against COVID, a disease which has killed more than 1.2 million Americans, are available to all Americans is inexcusable. RFK Jr's deliberate, determined campaign to undermine the public health mission of CDC has caused the principled resignations of four other senior CDC leaders, including the expert who heads the national center that combats emerging infectious disease — the top CDC official in charge of preventing bird flu from killing millions of us. RFK Jr. is compromising the biosecurity and national security of the United States and endangering me and my family.
