Sample script:
Hello, my name is ______. I am calling to let Governor Cuomo know that I oppose S.4158/A.4883. This bill will prevent NYC's disposable bag reduction law from going into effect next week. The NYC bag bill is the result of over three years of advocacy efforts and negotiation. I urge the Governor to protect the city's right to enact local environmental laws and veto S.4158/A.4883.
