Reject the SAVE Act! Protect our Vote! As a constituent, I am urging you to vote no on any legislation that contains elements of the SAVE Act or the SAVE America Act that are designed to make it more difficult for eligible voters to cast their ballots. This includes the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act and Voter ID Act, and any future government spending bills. Nearly 21 million U.S. citizens of voting age do not have proof of citizenship readily available, only about half of American adults have a passport, and millions lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. Similarly, millions of Americans do not have access to the narrow range of acceptable documents to meet the proposed voter ID laws to be able to cast their ballots. Voter ID laws have been weapons against Black and Brown americans for generations. No more! Our leaders should be encouraging all eligible voters to participate in our democracy, not putting up barriers that make it impossible. The senate must reject the SAVE Act and any legislation that includes a version of the SAVE Act attached to it.  Our democracy only works when it includes all of us.
