SB-995 script:

           OK to call after business hours and leave a message. During business

           hours, you’ll likely reach a staff person who will appreciate brevity. This

           script will take less than a minute, and could have decades of positive

           impact.

           Personalize to suit your style.

           •Hello. My name is __. I’m calling about SB995 that is coming to the

             Natural Resources Committee on Thursday, August 6.

            I urge a no vote of SB995.

     •I live . . .(If you know you live in the committee member’s district use

                o   Option 1:I live in the Assembly member’s district and would

                         greatly appreciate a vote that represents me, my neighbors, and

                         constituents, not developers and real estate investors.

        o    Option 2: Although I don’t live in ___’s district, this bill

                        negatively impacts all Californians, including me.  It is poor

                        housing policy, and doesn’t address the need for truly

                        affordable housing.

             •Thank you . . . for voting against harmful housing policy.

                       Please vote to “Nix the Nine: and nix SB-995.

 Mark your Calendar: August 6 and plan to call in to the hearing to encourage them to nix the bills and nix the nine.

What are the nine bills and their impact?
