A sample script of the automated calls, for Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA):
“Hi, I’m calling on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee with a Voter Information Alert. Republicans in Congress are threatening to shut down the government unless they can eliminate your rights and consumer protections under the Affordable Care Act. You heard that right: take away healthcare or shut down the government. That’s the choice. It’s appalling.
“And if Congressman Scott Rigell doesn’t make it stop, seniors’ Social Security checks would be up in the air and our military families couldn’t count on getting paid. It would have a devastating impact on families around the country.
“And what does this mean for you? It means Republicans are trying to take away your right to health insurance – even if you have a preexisting condition – and let the insurance companies start charging outrageous rates again. And if they can’t get it done, they are going to close the doors of our government.
“Press 1 to connect with Congressman Rigell and tell him to stop the nonsense and focus on common sense solutions that protect our health care and grow our economy.”
