Contacting U.S. Senators to support Multiple Peril Insurance Legislation

Phone script: Just state what is in italics and provide your name and state of residence where indicated. Of course, feel free to use your own words. Click here for the phone numbers for each of your two U.S. Senators.

Hi! My name is _____ and I am a registered voter in (name state).

I am calling to express my position on the Multiple Peril Insurance legislation that passed overwhelming-and with bi-partisan support--in the House of Representatives
last Fall. With whom should I speak about my position? [The staff member will either transfer your call or take down the message.]

I would like to let Senator __________ know that I fully support the Multiple Peril Insurance legislation. American families and businesses depend on insurance for their financial security. The private sector has utterly failed. The Katrina-ravaged region has not been able to rebuild because insurance is stopping it. The industry is cherry picking customers around the nation, depriving policyholders of payment on legitimate claims, and skyrocketing policy costs.

It's time for the federal government to provide the financial
security that Big Insurance has proven over and over again that it will not provide.

Please, introduce, sponsor, and support multiple peril insurance reform as part of the flood program reauthorization bill. America's families and business community need it.

Thank you for listening!
