Phone Script

As a constituent, I'm calling to ask that Senator/Representative _________ vote to fully reauthorize Head Start, keeping it in the Department of Health and Human Services and retaining the five-year authorization cycle. I also support expanded flexibility in meeting age and income guidelines, as well as special funding for staff scholarships and loan forgiveness programs, along with a high-quality "set-aside".

(Hold on long enough for them to take your name and address to validate that you are a constituent.)
