SAMPLE CALL SCRIPT:
Hello. My name is _________ and I have been following Pacific Rim’s lawsuit against the government El Salvador. I am calling with a message for the Board of Directors and all the shareholders who are meeting today.

The people of El Salvador have rejected the mine and that decision must be respected. Your lawsuit is a shameful ploy to rob the government of desperately-needed resources for your own financial gain. At today’s meeting, you have a chance to do the right thing. I call on you to make the decision to:
1. Immediately cease all efforts to mine gold in El Salvador and withdraw from the country.
2. Immediately withdraw your lawsuit against the government of El Salvador.”
