Friend – did you see Gary's email about his bill to crack down on robocalls?

Robocall scams are out of control: Earlier this year, there were on average nearly 2,000 robocalls per SECOND! Americans need relief from these overwhelming and dangerous calls.

Right now, there's a bill on the floor of the Senate that would help stop them – but Gary needs to build grassroots momentum to get it passed. So please, will you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor before 11:59 p.m. tonight to show the Senate that you demand action on robocall scammers?

Gary still needs another 121 supporters to sign on tonight, so he's really counting on you!

Subject: will you become a citizen co-sponsor of my bill?

Having the support of constituents is imperative for ensuring critical bills advance through our legislative system. The bill increasing penalties for robocalls just advanced in the Senate, and we could use your help to get it across the finish line. Will you become a citizen co-sponsor right now by clicking here?

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.
