Trump just declared all-out war on our voting rights – and our democracy.
As part of his plan to rig the midterms, Trump is demanding Senate Republicans bulldoze Senate rules and abolish the filibuster to ram through the so-called "SAVE Act" NEXT WEEK – a scheme that could silence 21 million Americans and rip away our freedom to vote.
The bill already passed the House, and now Trump is ramping up his threats to force it through the Senate – vowing not to sign a single piece of legislation until Congress bows to his demands. If we don't act, he could grind our government to a halt until Senate Majority Leader Thune caves and guts voting rights nationwide.
We have to show MASSIVE public pressure on the Senate to stand up to Trump and stop this. Take urgent action: tell your senator "Vote NO on the SAVE Act NOW!"
Here's what's at stake: if Trump gets his way, every American would need to present a passport or birth certificate just to register to vote – and a photo ID every time they cast a ballot. But 1-in-10 eligible voters don't have up-to-date documents – disenfranchising MILLIONS overnight. And that's not even all – it would also require states to run voter rolls through a federal database kept by the Department of Homeland Security.
It's no accident: Trump's scheme is designed to purge the rolls and keep our communities from having a voice.
And the scary thing is that Trump's threats are working. Texas Senator Cornyn, who is locked in a tight primary race, just reversed himself and came out in favor of abandoning the filibuster after YEARS of unflinching support for it.
If we don't speak out, more Senators could flip. We can't stay silent while Trump and his enablers try to snatch our rights away. As Trump escalates his pressure campaign, Congress needs to hear from all of us – not tomorrow, today.
Add your name now and tell your senators: Don't cave to Trump – vote NO on the SAVE Act!
Let's rise up and show Congress that we won't let any politician – no matter how powerful – slam the door on our democracy.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
