The House just passed a poll tax

BREAKING: The House just passed a bill to make it harder for you to vote. Tell the Senate to STOP this assault on our rights >> Pamela, the House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act – a cruel, calculated attack on every American's right to vote. It's designed to effectively block millions of eligible Americans from casting a ballot – especially women, seniors, students, and rural voters. Together, we've done everything in our power to stop this, from grassroots phone banks to on-the-ground pressure campaigns in key districts. And because of your action, we flipped multiple representatives to vote against this disgraceful bill. [1] But today's vote means we must turn our focus to the Senate. We still have time to pressure our senators to stop this – but only if we speak out NOW.   Let's show the Senate just how many of us are paying attention and demanding they protect our freedom to vote. Add your name to our petition urging the Senate to REJECT the SAVE Act >> SIGN THE PETITION Here's how the SAVE Act puts your vote at risk: Prove your citizenship – again: Even if you're a lifelong voter, if you move across town, change your last name when getting married, or switch parties, you'd have to provide your passport or birth certificate with your current legal name – in person at your local elections office – just to stay registered. Get stuck in long lines: Election officials would face impossible workloads, causing confusion and delays. Lose your right to vote – without warning: If outdated records can't verify your status, you could be purged from the rolls without even knowing it. These barriers could disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans – especially the 146 million Americans without passports and the 69 million American women whose birth certificates don't match their married names. [2] We've all seen what happens when voting rights are stripped away. People lose their voice, communities lose power, and elections no longer belong to We The People – they belong to those who make the rules. This is a moment to stand on principle. Add your name to tell the Senate: Every eligible American deserves the freedom to vote without jumping through impossible hoops. STOP the SAVE Act.
