Call script to object to SAVE Act

[chestnut_pod]

The SAVE Act is a mass-disenfranchisement act which would require every voter to show proof of citizenship bearing their current name when registering to vote. The implications seem obvious.

If you have Republican congresspeople, or if your Democratic congresspeople have been shaky, please use this script to call and urge them to reject this bill.

Democrats in the House who've been wobbly include:
Shomari Figures
Josh Harder
Jared Moskowitz
April McClain Delaney
Kristen McDonald Rivet
Jared Golden
Donald Davis
Tom Suozzi
John Mannion
Susie Lee
Marcy Kaptur
Vicente Gonzalez
Henry Cuellar
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

And Democratic senators who voted for the Laken Riley Act:
Catherine Cortez Masto
John Fetterman
Ruben Gallego
Maggie Hassan
Mark Kelly
John Ossoff
Gary Peters
Jacky Rosen
Jeanne Shaheen
Elissa Slotkin
Mark Warner
Raphael Warnock

Thank you. Especially for the list of wobblers

The implications seem obvious.

There's also the apparently-not-so-obvious implication that, as written, it would make it much harder for a large percentage of married women to vote.

If your current name (for which you have photo ID) is not the same as the name on your birth certificate, and you don't have a passport, you're screwed.

There's a very hand-wave-y bit directing states to "establish a process under which an applicant can provide such additional documentation" to prove citizenship, but with no details as to how.

Contacted my Senators!

We need Ossoff and Warnock in the Senate. The death occurred here in Georgia and the fastest way to turn those seats Republican was for them to vote against it. The second fastest would have been to abstain.

Please don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. One of the deepest red states has a Jewish, Democratic Senator and a liberal black reverend for their second senator. We need them to explain things to the other Southerners in the Senate.
