Phone Call Scripts

Primary Script (60-90 seconds)

"Hi, I'm [YOUR NAME], a constituent in [ZIP CODE].

I'm asking the Representative to support bringing to the floor a JFK-style disclosure framework for the remaining Epstein records with:

  • Default to release
  • A neutral review board
  • Automatic survivor privacy protections
  • A public log of any withholdings

This is nonpartisan, victim-centered, and about restoring trust. Can you note my request and share the office's position?"

Short Version (30 seconds voicemail)

"Hi, this is [NAME] in [ZIP]. Please support a floor vote on a victim-safe, JFK-style disclosure framework for the Epstein files—presumption of release, narrow redactions, independent review, and a public index. Thank you."

If They Ask "What Framework?"

"A bipartisan approach similar to the JFK Records Act:

  1. Presumption of release with narrow, time-limited exemptions
  2. Independent review board with security-cleared members and a survivor advocate
  3. Automatic redaction of minors' identities; opt-in for adult survivors
  4. Public Vaughn index showing what's withheld and why
  5. Firm deadlines and a searchable public repository"

If They Say "We Already Released Files"

"I appreciate the recent releases. However, the 33,000 pages were heavily redacted and incomplete. We need a comprehensive framework to finish the job properly—one that protects survivors while ensuring real transparency, not selective disclosure."

If They Say "This Could Harm Victims"

"That's exactly why the framework includes automatic redaction of all minors' identities and re-identifying details. Adult survivors can opt-in if they choose. The survivor community held a press conference supporting full disclosure with these protections."

If They Say "Ongoing Investigations"

"The framework allows for narrow, time-limited exemptions for active investigations, reviewed by an independent board. A public index would show exactly what's withheld and why—no blanket secrecy."

For Priority Targets

Young Kim (CA-40)

Add: "As a leader on anti-trafficking issues, Representative Kim's support would show real commitment to protecting future victims through transparency."

Jen Kiggans (VA-02)

Add: "Given Representative Kiggans' oversight role and her vote to expel Santos for ethics violations, this is consistent with holding power accountable."

Ashley Hinson (IA-02)

Add: "As a Judiciary Committee member who champions transparency, Representative Hinson's support would be valuable."

Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27)

Add: "With Representative Salazar's journalism background and Miami's trafficking concerns, her voice would be particularly powerful."

Closing If Positive Response

"Thank you! Will the Representative be signing the discharge petition this week? Can I follow up with your office?"

Closing If Negative/Noncommittal

"I understand. Please convey to the Representative that constituents are watching this closely. Thank you for your time."
