Sample Email Part 2. My concerns include: Free speech: chills First Amendment rights. Amendment 2: expanded too far. Bail denial: allows holding people without bail. Vague language: key terms are undefined. Unintended consequences: impacts Oklahomans across the political spectrum. What problem does HB3581 solve that current law does not already address? Can you point to specific incidents where existing laws were inadequate? This bill goes too far. I respectfully urge you to vote NO on HB3581. Sincerely, [Your Name], [Your City], OK, [Your Phone/Email]

Take action. It’s time to call AND email committee members before the 2pm hearing. Remember: be respectful, brief, and specific: “Vote NO on HB3581.” Here is the contact information for the Committee Chair, Vice Chair, and Representatives: Rep. Rande Worthen (R): CHAIR, District 64 (Lawton), Phone: (405) 557-7398, Email: rande.worthen@okhouse.gov. Rep. Erick Harris (R): VICE CHAIR, District 39 (Edmond), Phone: (405) 557-7342, Email: erick.harris@okhouse.gov. (continued on next slide) Take Action. Representative contact information continued from the last slide. Rep. Amanda Clinton (D), District 71 (Tulsa), Phone: (405) 557-7361, Email: amanda.clinton@okhouse.gov. Rep. David Hardin (R), District 86 (Stilwell), Phone: (405) 557-7394, Email: david.hardin@okhouse.gov. Rep. Robert Manger (R), District 101 (Oklahoma City), Phone: (405) 557-7395, Email: robert.manger@okhouse.gov. Rep. Jim Olsen (R), Phone: (405) 557-7315, Email: jim.olsen@okhouse.gov. What to say (script). If you reach the office: “Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [CITY]. I’m calling to urge Representative [NAME] to vote NO on HB3581.” Choose 2–3 points: 1. Free speech / chilling effect: “This will chill First Amendment rights. Peaceful people could face 2–10 years in prison for being present when someone else damages property.” 2. Amendment 2 expanded too far: “Amendment 2 expanded property damage from government property to ANY building or structure. That goes way beyond the original bill.” 3. Bail denial: “This bill allows bail denial even for non-violent allegations like traffic obstruction. People could sit in jail for months before trial and lose everything.” 4. Vague language / due process: Masks - “Who decides whether a mask is ‘without lawful excuse’? Obstruct traffic - What counts as ‘unlawfully obstruct’? This is too vague.” 5. What problem is this solving? “Oklahoma already has riot laws, assault laws, and property damage laws. What gap is this bill filling?” Close: “I respectfully urge Representative [NAME] to vote NO on HB3581. Thank you.” Sample Email Part 1. Subject: Vote NO on HB3581. Dear Representative [NAME], I am writing to urge you to vote NO on HB3581 in committee. This bill adds extreme new felony penalties to Oklahoma’s riot law, including 2–10 years in prison for any property damage and the possibility of bail denial. Amendment 2 expanded the property damage provision from government property to ANY structure or building, making it far broader than the original bill. Oklahoma’s riot definition is already very broad. Even permitted, peaceful protests can be labeled “riots” when counter-protesters create violence or when police declare an assembly “unlawful.” Under HB3581, peaceful Oklahomans could face years in prison for incidents they did not cause.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION

The Oklahoma House Judiciary Committee will be voting on HB3581 tomorrow, February 10th, at 2PM. The bill seeks to add harsh FELONY penalties to the existing riot law.

Call and email these the committee representatives and tell them "Vote NO on HB3581."
Image of a megaphone being held up in the bottom right corner. The Political Revolution logo is to the left of it. Text reads: Bad bill Alert. Urgent Call to Action: Stop HB3581 in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma House Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing at 2pm on Tuesday, February 10th, where HB3581 will be voted on. This bill seeks to add harsh felony penalties to Oklahoma’s existing riot law, which would be effective immediately if it passes. What HB3581 does. The bill adds harsh new felony penalties to Oklahoma's existing riot law. Blocking traffic: raised from a misdemeanor to felony (up to two years). Wearing a mask: new felony (up to 2 years) "without lawful excuse" (undefined). Any property damage: new felony (2-10 years) for everyone present; critical, amendment 2 expanded this from government property to any structure, building, or office space. Possible bail denial: People charged may be held without bail while awaiting trial. Defining "riot." Oklahoma’s riot definition (since 1910) is extremely broad: “Any use of force or violence by three or more persons acting together and without authority of law.” What that means in real life: Counter-protesters attack and three people defend themselves: “riot.” Police declare an assembly “unlawful” and people don’t leave fast enough: “riot." One unknown person breaks something: everyone nearby could be at risk. Even permitted protests can be labeled a “riot” if: Any altercation occurs (including defensive actions), police declare the assembly “unlawful,” counter-protesters escalate violence, or provocateurs infiltrate HB3581 Impact. Under HB3581, peaceful protesters could face: 2-10 years in prison for being present when any property gets damaged (even if they didn't do it). Felony charges for blocking traffic or wearing masks. Months in jail without bail while awaiting trial (job loss, housing loss, custody issues). Permanent felony records.

Call your Senators NOW! You still have the chance to prevent the Homeland Security appropriations bill from passing.

Call 202.224.3121 to be connected to the US Capitol Switchboard or use the 5Calls app to be connected to your Senator's local office.

#calltoaction #politicalrevolution #fuckICE
Call to action! Seven House Democrats voted to approve billions in ICE funding. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (North Carolina), Laura Gillen (New York), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington), and Tom Suozzi (New York) What's next? The Homeland Security appropriations bill allots $64 billion more for DHS and $10 billion more for ICE. With the bill passing the House, it now moves to the Senate, who has to pass the measure by January 30th to avoid another government shutdown. You have a week left to urge your Senators to vote NO. What you can do: There’s still time to urge Congress to defund ICE. Call the US. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. They will direct you to your Senator’s office. Or, you can use 5Calls to your Senator’s local office. It will even provide a short script for you to follow. There's still time to act! Leave a voicemail today. Start calling on Monday. You still have time to influence the vote. It’s easy to feel powerless as individuals in the face of tyranny. However, we can make a difference when we build community and act together. Our strength lies in each other.

The #BlackFriday weekend blackout isn't just about the bottom line - it's also about protecting the environment. Join us Nov. 27th to Dec. 1st.

But, don't stop there. Continue showing retailers that #WeAintBuyingIt throughout the holidays and give back to your community instead.
Image of a megaphone next to the words "We ain't buying it". Text reads "Boycotting Black Friday isn’t just about hurting the bottom line of giant retailers and supporting your local community. It’s also about fighting climate change." Logos for Political Revolution and 50501 are in the bottom left corner, alongside the website weaintbuyingit.com Title: Invisible Impact. Text: With $10.8 billion spent last year on Black Friday alone, the contribution to climate change is massive. However, it’s rarely talked about or even reported on. Companies are already shady about how they impact the environment. And holiday sales are a major part of that. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom.

Text: Consumers may think that participating in Thanksgiving weekend sales means they are helping stores sell off old stock so that it doesn’t end up in landfills. This simply isn’t true. There wouldn’t be so much overstock to sell if companies made less product and consumer demand was lower. The irony is that the majority of Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases will end up in the landfill anyway. Logos of Political Revolution and 50501 are along the bottom.

Don't let these Democratic Senators get away with this. Healthcare premiums will skyrocket if the subsidies aren't extended, and millions of Americans will suffer if the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid aren't overturned.

Do not let them rest.

#PoliticalRevolution
Eight Democrats Cave to the GOP’S Budget. Don't let them forget. On Sunday, November 9th, after 40 days of government shutdown, 8 Democratic senators buckled and agreed to a “compromise” bill to reopen the government. While it reinstates funding for SNAP and guarantees backpay for furloughed federal workers, the primary issue that Democrats fought for, extending ACA healthcare subsidies, was not secured. The only concession by the GOP is a guaranteed vote on them in December. The bill only funds the government through January 30th, 2026. Given that Congress is Republican majority across the board, it is highly unlikely the subsidies will pass, rendering the Democrats’ stand completely fruitless. Political Revolution logo and website are on the bottom. Visit pol-rev.com The senators. The following 8 senators have failed Americans. They must answer for this. Do not let them rest - call, email, snail mail them. Make sure that come their time for re-election, they are primaried out of the race. Jeanne Shaheen - New Hampshire - Retiring in 2026 Maggie Hassan - New Hampshire - Re-election in 2030 Dick Durbin - Illinois - Retiring in 2026 Tim Kaine - Virginia - Re-election 2030 Angus King - Maine - Re-election in 2030 Jacky Rosen - Nevada - Re-election in 2030 Catherine Cortez Masto - Nevada - Re-election in 2028 John Fetterman - Pennsylvania - Re-election in 2028 Chuck Schumer is just as guilty as he is reported to have orchestrated the deal. He is up for re-election in 2028. What now? The bill has yet to pass, as the Senate has a max of 30 hours to debates any amendments to the bill and then vote to pass. Voting began at 6pm on Monday. If it passes, it goes to the House of Reps. They will need to vote to approve the bill or offer amendments. If any amendments are made, it will go back to the Senate to vote. Given the Republican majority in the House, the bill will likely not face issues passing. It will then go to Trump’s desk. What can you do? Call your House Reps and urge them to not vote for the bill unless amendments are made that extend the ACA subsidies and restore SNAP and Medicaid funding cut in the Big, Beautiful Bill. Contact Democratic Reps and demand they do not cave as the Senators did. Urge them to offer up amendments that support Americans and revert Trump’s policies. Even moreso, contact Republican Reps and demand they do the same. While it may seen fruitless, you deserve to have your voice heard and the slew of Democratic wins last week may make them more susceptible to pressure. Use the 5Calls app or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 to be connected to your Reps.

Billions are available for a new ballroom, ICE, and bailouts. But, when it comes to Americans trying to make ends meet? Trump and the GOP are happy to let them starve.

If your benefits are at risk or you're just looking to help, check out these resources.
The Political Revolution logo is in the top left corner. The title reads SNAP Benefits at Risk for Millions. Text reads: On October 10th, the USDA announced that there would be insufficient funds to pay full November SNAP benefits if the federal government shutdown continues. As of October 23rd, 25 states have announced that food aid participants will not receive a check in November. These states include California, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, Mississippi and New Jersey. Unfortunately, even if the shutdown were to end today, there would likely be a delay before benefits could be distributed. Approximately 42 million Americans (about 10% of the population) rely on SNAP to put food on their tables. We want to provide some resources for those who need food aid and those looking to help.

GOTV! Elections in Alabama, Missouri, and Florida today! Read about these elections and help spread the word.
GET OUT THE VOTE SEPTEMBER 30TH ELECTIONS There are a number of special, primary, and recall elections happening TODAY across several states. If you're in one of the following states, make sure to get out and vote! Alabama Florida Missouri STATE HOUSE SPECIAL PRIMARY A Republican primary election is being held for the Alabama House of Representatives District 13 seat. The seat was vacated after Republican Rep. Matt Woods was appointed senator for the State Senate District 5. The candidates on the ballot are Greg Barnes and Dustin Beaty. The Democratic primary was cancelled after no candidates filed. With no Democrat in the race, the winner of the primary will be the presumed representative for the vacancy. Polls will be open from 7am to 7pm. Florida is holding two special primaries for State House District 90 and Senate District 11. The State Senate seat was left vacant after Gov. Ron Desantis appointed Sen. Blaise Ingoglia as Florida's Chief Financial Officer. The State House seat became vacant when Rep. Joe Casello passed away in July. The Senate District 11 Republican primary's candidates are Anthony Vincent Brice and Ralph Massullo Jr. Democrat Ash Marwah ran unopposed and has already advanced to the general election. The House District 90 Republican primary's candidates are William Reicherter and Maria Zack. The Democratic primary election was cancelled and candidate Rob Long advanced to the general election. Polls are open from 7am to 7pm. MISSOURI JACKSON COUNTY RECALL After a last minute appeal by Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. to block the recall election, the courts have rejected it and the election will proceed as normal. White is up for recall due to several contentious measures. The primary issue is a 2019 property assessment process that caused massive jumps in property values across the country. The issue escalated even further in 2023, after average values jumped 30% and an investigation showed the assessment department did not follow the law during the assessment process. White's refusal to address the issues caused by these property value increases led to a petition for his recall, which received enough signatures to go forward. The ballot will only have a Yes or No question about whether White should be recalled. Polls are open from 6am to 7pm.
