Call your Senators NOW!!!!!!!!!!
The SAVE Act, by design, places incredible burdens on millions of people who are already eligible to vote. And if they decide to try to re-register for voting, they’ll face a Herculean task. State offices around the country will be flooded by millions of people seeking documentation of their citizenship.
If you have a current passport, you might be in luck — but roughly 140 million Americans don’t have one. And your California driver’s license or RealID won’t work; neither qualifies as proof of citizenship.
—Shirley N. Weber, the secretary of state of California, oversees all federal and state elections in the state.

The House has passed the SAVE Act, which will make it dramatically more difficult for millions of eligible American citizens to register to vote if the Senate passes it too, so it’s time to start campaigning for the Senate to reject it.
They could vote on the “SAVE” act as early as this week and disenfranchise more than half of American voters:
Any married woman who took her husband’s last name could lose her right to vote.
Anyone who can’t produce a passport or birth cert will not be able to vote.

Calling a local office may give you the chance to talk to a human. Consider a visit in person.
If the SAVE Act becomes law, all Americans will have to provide a birth certificate, a passport, or one of a limited number of documents, such as certain (but not all) military ID cards, every time they register or reregister to vote.
Only 51 percent of Americans have passports, which cost adults applying for the first time a $165.00 fee.
The bill would end registration by mail and online because it requires voters to show proof of citizenship to election officials “in person” when they register. That would also make it difficult, if not impossible, to conduct voter registration drives, say, at churches or schools. States that automatically register voters when they turn 18 would no longer be able to do so.
if you move or need to reregister you’d have to bring your passport or original birth certificate in for inspection every time you do that.
If you’re a married woman who changed or hyphenated her name, you can expect problems if your name doesn’t match your birth certificate.
It's the 2025 poll tax.
And if your Senators are Dems, ask what they're going to do to make sure this doesn't pass and what they wish their constituents to do.
If your HOUSE reps are any of these 4, call them, too, and scream bloody murder !
Despite opposition from most Democratic voters, the following four centrist Democrats in the House voted for it:
Representatives Ed Case of Hawaii,
Henry Cuellar of Texas,
Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington,
Jared Golden of Maine.
