Here’s a sample script, although you should feel free to adapt to your own style:

“Hi, my name is __________ and I’m from ___(organization)____ . On Feb. 27th, the Foreign Affairs Committee will be voting on reauthorization of U.S. global AIDS and health programs. Congressman Lantos wrote a truly important, game-changing bill that does what it takes to prevent the senseless death of 3 million people worldwide each year, and we should honor his legacy by passing this bill. Committee Republicans are planning to fight to flat fund PEPFAR, and promote ideologically motivated prevention policies. This bill needs to pass the Committee with at least $50 billion, and support treatment for 1/3 of people with HIV worldwide. Also, the bill needs to be amended to require that 140,000 new health professionals are trained, retained and supported so we can meet the goals in the bill. The only way to ensure that the bill emerges in the best form possible is for every Democratic Committee Member to show up on Feb. 27th and stay until the voting is completed. Will Rep. ______ be attending the entirety of the markup?”
