The path to the Senate is clear BUT only if we do this…
Instead of changing course, they’re trying to rig the system.

Please, take a stand AGAINST the SAVE Act today »
This week, the U.S. Senate started seriously considering the SAVE Act – a blatant effort to suppress votes ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Here's what this legislation aims to do:
- American citizens would be required to present a birth certificate or passport before casting their vote. Data shows that about half of American citizens do not have a passport.
- Married women – or any person who has changed their name from what was originally on their birth certificate – would face significant barriers to accessing the ballot box.
- Local election officials, the people in your community who have always been responsible for conducting elections safely and securely, could face serious legal challenges from the Trump administration.
So let's be clear about what this legislation really is: A coordinated attempt to make it harder for everyday Americans – seniors, women, young people – to exercise their most fundamental right.
The Senate is moving fast. We need to show Congress that engaged Americans across the country are watching – and that we won't stand for it.
Please, add your name to our letter to Congress today »
Thank you for standing with us.

| To all members of Congress: Today, I am urging you to oppose the SAVE Act. This legislation would require Americans to present a passport or birth certificate to register to vote – a barrier millions of eligible citizens simply cannot clear. Nearly half of Americans don't have a passport. Birth certificates can be difficult to obtain. And anyone who has legally changed their name – including married women – could find themselves locked out of the ballot box entirely. Voter fraud is already illegal. This bill doesn't solve a real problem. It creates new ones – at the expense of seniors, working families, and everyday Americans who have every right to make their voices heard. Please, reject the SAVE Act and defend the voting rights of your constituents. X ____________________ |

Millions may have to “show their papers” just to vote
|
Pamela, do you have your birth certificate handy? I sure don't and it's unlikely that most other Americans can easily access theirs. Yet, under the so-called "SAVE America Act", millions of eligible voters will need to "show their papers" just to participate in democracy.
Proponents of this bill like to pretend that the voting requirements they're suggesting are no big deal. They say, "If you need an ID to rent bowling shoes, then why shouldn't you need one to vote?"
That may sound reasonable until you dig into the details of the bill, even just a little bit. With the SAVE America Act, a regular driver's license wouldn't be enough to register to vote. Neither would a REAL ID nor a military ID by itself. If you changed your last name after marriage like I did, and your paperwork doesn't have your updated legal name, you'll have to jump through major legal hoops to get to the ballot box.
And that's the issue. These barriers are intended to reduce participation in our elections, pure and simple — because anti-democracy forces believe that's the only way they can win. That's unacceptable — and frankly, un-American. With your support, Redistricting Action can stop these blatant attacks on our democracy.

President Trump described voting in America as "the greatest privilege of them all."
That phrase alone highlights the severe problem underlying the SAVE America Act: Voting in America is a right provided to all American citizens, not a privilege bestowed on a select few by the leaders in Washington, D.C.
Right now, this legislation has the support of a simple majority in the Senate. While a bill like this typically requires 60 votes to pass, some lawmakers — who are desperate to make voting harder — are threatening to get rid of the filibuster to force it through.
Thank you for answering the call to act,
