Time is of the essence! They are hoping to be voting on this by the end of the morning. The Republicans are the only thing holding it up.

Here’s a sample script you can use:

Hi Mr. Heinrich/Lujan

My name is ________. I’m a constituent of yours in ________, NM. I’m calling to urge you to vote no on the spending omnibus, until the language that ends early the pandemic SNAP benefits is removed. It’s deplorable that we would end these very vital and needed benefits early while we are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic with food costs up almost 35% across the board. This is literally taking out of the mouths of the poorest to feed the poorest. It makes zero sense. So I IMPLORE you to vote NO on this federal spending plan.
