Some tips on what to say:
  • As a Brazilian citizen, I urge you to veto the new forestry bill recently approved by the Brazilian Congress.


  • The Amazon and all of our precious forests are threatened by this bill.


  • As we approach the Rio summit, I and people across Brazil and the entire world want you to be a true global leader and veto this catastrophic law.


  • 79% of us Brazilians oppose the new Forest Bill; veto it now.


  • Stronger measures must be urgently taken to protect environmental activists and prevent further murders.
Please note that public offices are usually open between 9am and 5pm.

Remember to be polite, we'll be far more convincing if we're reasonable and courteous! If you don't get through, it probably means we're jamming their lines -- a good sign! KEEP CALLING!
