September 2006

 

Sample Phone Call:

 

My name is _____________________ and I am calling from [City & State] to ask for your support by co-sponsoring H.Res. 765 (or S.Res. 426, if you are contacting a Senator’s office). This resolution will demonstrate Congressional support for National Campus Safety Awareness Month this September. It is my feeling that a resolution like this will become a fantastic safety-enhancing opportunity for colleges and universities across the United States.

               September is the most dangerous month for college students. Because of their newfound freedom and experimentation with alcohol and other drugs they are at higher risk of becoming the victim of a sexual assault or other serious crime. This Resolution will focus much needed attention on safety during this vulnerable time. The goal is that some of these crimes be prevented. Please co-sponsor this Resolution and join in our efforts to make college campuses safer!
