Focus on Harris' positions on Israel and fracking as reasons to back Stein.

The robocalls emphasize Stein as the candidate who will fight for environmental causes, promote a green New Deal, and advocate for banning fracking. They suggest that Harris does not align with these values, urging voters to choose Stein instead.

One call from Badger Values specifically attacks Harris on her stance regarding Israel, accusing her of not taking action to stop the conflict in Gaza.

The call concludes by urging voters who care about Palestinian lives to vote for Jill Stein for President before November 5th.
