Staff Person Conversation or Voicemail (short version)
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to do everything possible to remove Russell Vought from any position in the executive branch. Vought has violated his constitutional authority and created untold harm in his efforts to dismantle the federal government and destroy critical programs serving the people of this country.
As the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought has withheld over $410 billion in congressionally appropriated funding and resisted complying with court orders. As the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, he attempted to dismiss settled cases which would have meant billions lost for consumers - including $80 million owed to defrauded service members and their families. These are just a few examples of the harm he has created.
Vought is an unelected political appointee who is acting as a shadow president and will continue his lawless, destructive actions unless he is stopped by Congress. We need our elected officials to act now!

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to remove Russell Vought from any position in the executive branch, whether through impeachment or other means. Vought has violated his constitutional authority and created untold harm in his efforts to dismantle the federal government and destroy critical programs serving the people of this country.
As the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought has withheld over $410 billion in congressionally appropriated funding across multiple federal agencies and programs, defied congressional mandates requiring transparency in federal spending decisions, and resisted complying with court orders. His campaign against the independent civil service of the federal workforce has jeopardized the livelihoods and mental health of many career civil servants and has eroded public trust in the government.
In his additional role as the Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Vought attempted to virtually shutter the organization and dismiss settled cases to the tune of billions lost for consumers - including $80 million owed to defrauded service members and their families, even while wasting millions of dollars on personal bodyguards.
Vought is an unelected political appointee who is acting as a shadow president and will continue his lawless, destructive actions unless he is stopped by Congress. We need you to act now!
