Suggested Script for emails or calls:

Hello, my name is ______________ calling/emailing from ERA NOW (or your own university / organization).  I am calling/emailing to urge Rep. ________________ to co-sponsor House Joint Resolution 80, the resolution introduced by Rep. Pressley of Massachusetts on March 24 to establish ratification of the ERA as the 28th Amendment. This resolution was supported by every House Democrat in the last Congress.  We are working to get all Democrats signed on.  I hope they will co-sponsor without delay.
