CALL SCRIPT FOR CALLING SENATORS/CONGRESS ABOUT SITSA BILL

Use this verbatem or change it to your liking. The intention of this is to give those who get anxious at the idea of calling some more confidence. Just remember, nobody is going to question anything you say when you call.

The first paragraph will suffice, but feel free to add the second part as well.

Here's the script and below it are the numbers to call:

Hi, my name is ___________ and I’m calling Senator Gassley/Senator Feinstein/Congressman Katco about the proposed SITSA bill. As an American citizen and kratom advocate, I am urging Senator _________ to specifically exclude kratom and other natural plants from this bill. I have seen first hand the benefits of this plant to help those suffering from chronic pain or dependence on addictive narcotics. This plant deserves to be studied and Americans have the right to choose what they put into their bodies.

Millions of law abiding citizens will be negatively impacted if kratom is banned, and even though this bill focuses on synthetic analogues, the precedence set in Indiana with Senate Bill 0305 which incorrectly identifies kratom as a synthetic analogue gives me great concern that the same will happen with the SITSA bill if passes in it’s current wording. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns, and please pass it along to Senator/Congressman _________.

Senator Grassley: 202-224-3744 Senator Feinstein: 202-224-3841 Congressman Katco: 202-225-3701
