National Phonebank to Stop Political Bribery in PA
Dec 06 Dec 06, 2019 - Dec 13, 2019 9:00am - 9:00pm ESTNational Phonebank to Stop Political Bribery in PA
A lobbyist gift ban is headed to a vote in the Pennsylvania State House. You can make the difference and help secure a huge anti-corruption victory by making calls to our supporters!
Politicians have accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbyist gifts in Pennsylvania. Tickets to a Beyoncé concert, a trip to Key West, boxing lessons...just to name a few. If you are tired of a government that works on behalf of the wealthy and powerful instead of for the people by the people, now is the time to act. Are you ready to put an end to this type of political bribery?
Join RepresentUs for our national phonebank to support the lobbyist gift ban. We’re calling Pennsylvania supporters and connect them to their representatives so they can know that there's no hiding from this issue. Here’s what you need to know:
When: Any time between 9am ET / 6am PT to 9pm ET / 6pm PT. Any day from now to Sunday, December 15th.
Where: Right from your computer!
Why: Support the lobbyist gift ban in PA!
Never phonebanked before? Have no fear - volunteers will be standing by to train you on the script and the call tool, as well as connect you with other callers on the front lines of the anti-corruption movement.

National Call-in Day: Pass the PA Lobbyist Gift Ban
Dec 16 Dec 16, 2019 9:00am - 9:00pm ESTNational Call-in Day: Pass the PA Lobbyist Gift Ban
RSVP here to join the national call-in day on December 16th and stop unlimited lobbyist gifts in Pennsylvania.
A lobbyist gift ban is ready for a vote in Pennsylvania, but we have to put pressure on politicians to get it to the House floor now, before it stalls out – otherwise they’ll ignore it and keep the corrupt status quo.
On Monday the 16th, RepresentUs members across the country will call Pennsylvania voters and patch them through to key lawmakers to demand their support for the gift ban.
When: Monday, Dec 16th from 9am ET to 9pm ET
Where: Right from your computer! RSVP to get log-in details.
Here's the thing: politicians don't want to change the status quo. They don't want to say goodbye to steak dinners and tickets to sports games. But they do want to keep their seats. That's why we need to show them that their constituents are watching them and demanding a change.
Voter calls are the most important tool we have to sway politicians and win a gift ban in Pennsylvania. RSVP now to join us for a national day of action on December 16th to win the next victory.
Never phonebanked before? Have no fear - volunteers will be standing by to train you on the script and the call tool, as well as connect you with other callers on the front lines of the anti-corruption movement.
