The SAVE Act: a poll tax Call your Senators and ask them to vote "No" on the SAVE Act.

The SAVE Act taxes your vote through hidden costs. This taxation violates constitutional principles. Republicans know this. They proceed regardless. This would be the largest poll tax in American history. #SaveActTaxesYourVote

if it is dead, if, they may try and pass other legislation or executive orders. Senators need to know nothing like the SAVE Act will be tolerated.

Not that that ever bothers him or any of the Republicans. The Supreme Court may put a stop to it (maybe).

The SAVE America Act is â€œdead for nowâ€ but not gone. Trump and House Republicans keep pushing it and leaning on Senate leaders to bring it back.

Call your senators and tell them to keep SAVE off the floor and vote no on any attempt to revive it.

One person who answered the phone asked “Is there anything else you’re worried about?” I said “I have a long list” and rattled off several other things. The person laughed and the whole conversation gave me the feeling that this person was sympatico.
