Urge Sens. Schumer & Gillibrand to oppose Jay Clayton.
Background:
Jay Clayton will need to be confirmed by the full Senate in order to be appointed Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Make sure Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand know that you oppose Jay Clayton’s confirmation.
SAMPLE CALL DIALOGUE (from Indivisible Guide, edited):
Caller: Good morning/afternoon! Can you let me know the Senator’s position on the nomination of Jay Clayton to Chair the Securities and Exchange Commission?
OPTION 1: OPPOSES CLAYTON’S NOMINATION
- Staffer: Thank you for calling! The Senator opposes the nomination of Jay Clayton.
- Caller: That’s great! I’m calling to say that if Senator [Schumer/Gillibrand] truly believes, as I do, that Jay Clayton is unqualified to Chair the SEC, he/she should do everything he/she can to oppose Clayton’s nomination. This means making public statements or delivering a floor speech opposing Clayton’s nomination in an effort to prevent the wholesale takeover of our government by Wall Street.I’m happy to hear the Senator opposes Jay Clayton’s nomination to the SEC. Thank you.
