Nothing More Important
There is no issue more important to Trump than the Middle East war…EXCEPT his effort to restrain & reshape how we vote in America. Why is that so important to him? He knows the consequence of losing the mid-term 2026 election ends his free ride in Congress.
He has long talked about nationalizing elections…he even once said “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.” Is this what the SAVE American Act is all about? A close look at the SAVE Act treats American people as little more than subjects. The SAVE Act makes it more difficult to register to vote…and to actually vote. It is not just about voter fraud or photo ID.
Do you have a passport…can you find your birth certificate…to prove citizenship register or re-register to vote? Most likely not. The Brennan Center research shows more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. Roughly half of Americans don’t even have a passport.
Almost from his first day “back on the job” Trump has pushed a federal government effort to undermine the 2026 midterm election.
Trump has called for redrawing congressional district lines to elect more Republicans. The Department of Justice has filed lawsuits against states that have refused to turn over voter registration records, including sensitive personal information. He is stopping at nothing to ensure he controls Congress…to avoid impeachment proceedings.
Then…along comes the “so called” SAVE Act with provisions (if passed) that make it difficult not only to register to vote…but voting. This is not the American way.
Trump’s War has gotten the attention of most Americas. Now there is nothing more important than for Americans to tell Members of Congress to forget about the SAVE Act…and think about saving our country from people like Trump…who have forgotten his campaign promise of no more wars…and to put America First.
