It's not too late: Lobby by calling/tweeting - ACTION FROM YOUR HOME!

Amnesty International USA
Dear Amnesty Lobbyists,
For those of you who were not able to schedule meetings with your Congressional offices during the spring, you can still advocate for human rights with your legislators – I’m attaching (click for  CALL SCRIPTS and SAMPLE TWEETS that you can use to lobby your Members of Congress from the comfort of your own home.
Over 200 activists from 35 states signed up to urge their Members of Congress to support the Geolocational Privacy and Surveillance Act (GPS Act) and to oppose anti-refugee or anti-asylum seeker bills.  Please remember to send us pictures from your lobby visits and fill out a short debrief form:http://www.amnestyusa.org/debrief
Please check out the elections toolkit, which provides guidance for members on how to represent AIUSA during the election season (there will be another piece of the toolkit out at the end of the summer), these issues will be the focus of our fall lobby weeks (October 3-November 11): http://www.amnestyusa.org/electionstoolkit 
We look forward to you continuing your lobbying efforts on behalf of human rights in the fall – have a great summer!
