Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.Res. 155, which reaffirms U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. This is a resolution with no spending and no complex tradeoffs. It puts Congress on record in support of Ukraine and sends a clear message that American support is bipartisan and durable. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.Res. 155? Thank you.

Bill Analysis
H.Res. 155 is a House resolution introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY-5) reaffirming U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. Unlike authorization bills, resolutions don't create law - but they put Congress on record. With 35 cosponsors and referral to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, passage would send a direct message to both Kyiv and Moscow about where Congress stands, independent of executive branch policy.
Key Provisions
Formal Condemnation of Russian War Crimes
The resolution enumerates specific documented atrocities: deliberate strikes on hospitals and evacuation corridors, forced deportation of at least 19,000 Ukrainian children, destruction of agricultural and energy infrastructure, and mass graves in occupied territories as documented by the UN and ICC.
Reaffirmation of Ukraine's Sovereignty
Puts the House on record supporting Ukraine's right to its internationally recognized borders - a direct counter to any negotiated settlement that would cede Ukrainian territory to Russia.
Recognition of Ukrainian Resilience
Formally acknowledges three years of Ukrainian resistance against a country with three times its population and a far larger military, framing continued U.S. support as backing a proven partner.
Russia's Strategic Failure
Notes that Russia has suffered over 800,000 military casualties - a figure that frames the war not as a Russian victory in progress but as a costly strategic failure that U.S. support can help bring to a just conclusion.
Why It Matters
When the executive branch signals ambiguity about Ukraine support, a congressional resolution matters. H.Res. 155 would put 435 House members on record - or force them to vote against it. It costs nothing to pass and sends a clear signal to allies and adversaries alike. The 35 cosponsors are a starting point; the goal is a floor vote with a strong majority.
Advocacy Talking Points
- →H.Res. 155 costs nothing - it's a statement of where Congress stands. Ask your representative to cosponsor it.
- →The resolution specifically names the 19,000 Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia. Congress should be on record condemning this.
- →A strong House vote on H.Res. 155 would signal to allies that U.S. support for Ukraine has bipartisan congressional backing regardless of executive branch signals.
- →Ask your representative: if they won't cosponsor a resolution, will they at least vote yes when it comes to the floor?
