Friend: I'm thrilled to share that my bill increasing the penalties for robocall scams has advanced in the Senate! This is a major opportunity to crack down on robocalls, which is why I'm about to ask you to become a citizen co-sponsor of this bill. I hope you'll give me a moment to explain why.
|
You see, robocall scams aren't just a nuisance – they're dangerous. The average robocall victim loses nearly $200! And, as you may have noticed, Americans are getting a LOT of these calls. In 2019, over 1.7 billion robocalls were placed to my constituents in Michigan alone – that's roughly 170 robocalls per person!
|
It's absolutely unacceptable that scammers are getting away with stealing people's hard-earned money. We must take real action to stop this crisis.
|
That's why I've been working hard to pass my bill that would increase penalties to $20,000 per violation and $2 million for those organizing the illegal campaigns.
|
But, as I'm sure you know, getting any bill through the gridlock in our Senate is a challenge. That's where you come in, friend. I need another 3,283 people to sign on as citizen co-sponsors of my bill to tell my colleagues in the Senate that this bill must pass.
|
With a strong grassroots movement, I know we can get this one across the finish line. So please, before my midnight deadline, will you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor of my bill to crack down on robocalls?

Thank you so much for all that you do.
– Gary
