AIUSA: Reject American SAFE Act of 2015 - CALL TODAY

 Dear AI Supporter:
 
We’re contacting you at a critical moment asking you to call your Senator immediately to vote NO on the upcoming bill limiting entry to the U.S. to Iraqi and Syrian refugees.
  • Please, call your senator NOW.  Click here to find your Senators by state.  Ring both Senators to express your support for refugees and your rejection of this bill.
Sample Script:
Hi, my name is ______ and I am calling from (city/state) to urge Senator ________ to vote NO on the upcoming bill targeted at Iraqi and Syrian refugees.  
 
Refugees already face a lengthy and extremely detailed and well-vetted refugee screening and process.
 
For example, Syrian refugees to be considered for resettlement in the U.S. will have already been vetted by the UN, even before they go through a US vetting process led by the Department of Homeland Security.  Priority will be given to the most vulnerable refugees, including torture survivors, people with serious medical conditions, children and teenagers on their own and women and children at risk.
 
Please vote NO on the bill to impose more barriers to refugees.
