I'm guessing the bill needs 60 to pass which means if all democrats vote against it, it will not pass. Four reps in the House voted for it so I guess we'll see. I've lost faith in Schumer though.
I lost faith in Shumer last time around. He did a lot of good over the years. Every dem in the party should commit this time to a definitive “NAY”. The sabbatical is over. Unite for our country. Unite for our democracy & Unite for our Constitution. No ifs,ands or buts. This is imperative now. There aren’t any other choices. Represent the PEOPLE!
I think Schumer was right in not voting to close down the government. This administration is so corrupt they may have not reopened it for months but have continued with their agenda to abolish all government agencies.
Schumer better not pull the same trick he did last time, by letting the Republicans pass their bill with a simple majority. Hold the line! If the Democrats stand their ground, we can kill the bill—let’s see if Schumer grew a strong spine over the past few weeks
I knew it wouldn’t. The math isn’t in the R’s favor, it’s not a reconciliation bill so it need 60 votes to even get on the floor. R’s have 53 seats. No Ds will ever be in favor of it. Passing it in the House was performative.
I listened to Adam Kinzinger April 14 video something that I found interesting was getting ready! To take to the street, boycott all items these kiss ass Billionaire have that are bribing Trump it time to email REPUBLICAN MAJORITY LEADER SEN THUNE LIKE ADAM STATED HE IS A REG CONSERVATIVE ITS TIME FOR HIME TO GET OTHER LIKE BACON, TOO “Feathers for Hope” IS AWAY TO IMPEACH THIS psychopath But quite also these $B need to hurt by Americans boycotting a week at a Time stop buy Amazon, Stop using Facebook Instagram What’s App but we as Americans need to have it hurt just like Tesla where he in tears needs to hit harder
Look at China they stop trump in his tracks. I believe djt is working with Orban on how to become a Dictator. EO are not laws there his wish list.
Also these men that are being Deported their need to sue with $B like Trump $10b list ICE Nolan Miller, Trump Bondi tie them up in court then say they will Consider dropping if GARCIA RETURN Sue for no do process it’s illegal no EQ is law
They are prob in red states in swing districts; they knew it would die in the Senate. This gives them some “I voted across the aisle” credit on something that had no chance to pass.
“Thinking” it will not pass the Senate is not enough: you MUST be 100% UNITED against it and come out loud about where you stand. If ANY Democrat is waffling, let the public know so we can emphasize that We The People cannot tolerate ANY of them supporting the Save Act. no ifs, ands or buts….
VOTE THEM OUT!!!! TRAITORS!!!!! THIS BILL IS BULLSHIT!!!! There is NO reason for it! There is .000625% of election fraud, and it's MOSTLY GOP committing it!!!!!
Call their offices and tell them that they have betrayed the women of America. That says absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigrants voting… They’re just caving.
Those 4 Democrats should be VOTED OUT of office! Dammit they are supposed to be working FOR the people! WTF! 🤬 the people WILL rebel if this passes! BS!
Cuellar has always been a bit of an unconventional Dem. I don't know the other 3, now we know who to primary when they are up for election. In any case, I seriously doubt any of the Senate Dems will support it.
Speak plainly. It is an attack on women’s rights. Can we not say that because Republicans men, certainly those in power, fear women or worse believe that they are inferior and shouldn’t be able to influence policy? Republicans in this current w caucus have the fewest number of women and fewer still sitting in Committee. MTG acting as pet dog doesn’t count.
My husband and I legally changed our surnames to a joint hyphenated surname after marrying in 1993. But that name does not match our birth certificates, so if the act becomes law, both of us will be disenfranchised. 😡
If it requires any Democrats to vote along with this to pass it then I suggest you root out any feckless Democrats that think they'll just do this bipartisanship at this moment! You need to root out whoever it is, hunt them down, and tell them they will be primaried and shoved out of office!
Someone already has to prove citizenship to register to vote. Having to again prove citizenship when voting is undemocratic. Of course, Republicans no longer believe in democracy.
If it passes, it will also disenfranchise people in the military stationed overseas as well as their families living abroad with them. Completely disgusting
This is the bill about proof of citizenship when voting. There is another bill about the name on the voter registration, which may affect adoptees and will affect married people who have taken their spouse’s name. Good point!
It’s very important for democrats to talk about this. Last summer when it was time to renew my drivers license I wanted the Real ID which is required to fly after 5/7/25. I had forgotten my marriage certificate and my id did not match my birth certificate. I was turned away from the DMV. Now had I been turned away from voting I would have been enraged instead of just really annoyed. It’s no secret that the maga gop wants to disenfranchise women and minorities.
I had to go home and find a bill on it with my address and my name. I want you to imagine all of the women who took their husband’s name, and all of the household bills are in his name, who do not have an official copy of their birth certificate and marriage certificate available. Who work full time and have children and do not have the time to go chase down and pay the fees for paperwork to KEEP FROM BEING DISENFRANCHISED FROM THEIR VOTING RIGHTS.
This is the reality! And they know it. I also had to go back for utility bill for prof of residence. If this was for voting I would be livid. We all should just be automatically registered to vote when we turn 18.
I had all my paperwork, and DMV still wouldn't take proof of address because the bill statement was in his name, not mine. We had just gotten married....i had to go to my bank to have a letter writing that that's where I lived now because it was one the bank records.
It was a headache. Spent the whole day driving back and forth between Social Security, the DMV, and the bank.
They got upset when they women DIDN'T take their husband's last name and now they're making it harder to vote because we did.
If I were young woman about to marry, I wouldn't take his name now and I wouldn't care either.
I would never change my name for marriage again, but let’s be honest, in retrospect I would also never marry. My ideal situation is a duplex and we visit sometimes.
I'm exactly the same! I have a companion who keeps asking me to marry him, I've told him point blank I will NEVER MARRY EVER AGAIN period. I control my life, I don't have to ask anyone's permission and my life isn't hitched to his or anyone's wagon.
And exactly the scenario that I was afraid of, by the way. Thank God my husband was frustrated with setting up accounts and I had to do a couple of them because the cell phone bill saved me when I got my realID.
I had to call the small county office in Kentucky to get my mom's marriage certificate. No one answered the phone for two weeks straight. I had to call another office in the courthouse to get them to get the clerk to answer her phone.
Oppression like the Save act, happen in places like Russia or Hungary. How can these Republican Representatives look themselves in the mirror, or even call themselves American patriots, when they are following the lead of a convicted felon, who cowtows to Dictators. They should be ashamed of themselves. These issues are not political, they are issues of right and wrong, morality and humanity. Republicans are on the wrong side of history. If they wish to live under an oligarchy, they should take their leader and high-tail it to Russia forever.
Call your senators now. Democrats or republicans. Let them know what the people who put them in office think! I’m calling fetterman and McCormick right now.
Schumer, that is a big promise. I sure hope you have the votes, this bill is unworthy of America
I'm guessing the bill needs 60 to pass which means if all democrats vote against it, it will not pass. Four reps in the House voted for it so I guess we'll see. I've lost faith in Schumer though.

I’ve lost faith I’d Schumer too!
I think Schumer was right in not voting to close down the government. This administration is so corrupt they may have not reopened it for months but have continued with their agenda to abolish all government agencies.
They are doing the same damage with or without closing it down
They had leverage and they gave it away. trump wanted that passed and he got what he wanted without any push back from the democrats.
Fettermanchin will vote for it
Yes he will but they need more than one. Can you think of others?
Schumer better not pull the same trick he did last time, by letting the Republicans pass their bill with a simple majority. Hold the line! If the Democrats stand their ground, we can kill the bill—let’s see if Schumer grew a strong spine over the past few weeks
The pedophile party is done.

This has to never see the light of day!!! I will not be silenced by the GOP
It shouldn’t have seen the light of day in the house.
Exactly, yet 4 House Democrats voted for it.
What are their names?
Jared Golden, ME
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, WA
Henry Cuellar, TX
Ed Case, HI
Cancel their Dem credentials.
I will call Ed Case’s office today. Why did he do that?
They are prob in red states in swing districts; they knew it would die in the Senate. This gives them some “I voted across the aisle” credit on something that had no chance to pass.
smfh! Are you kidding!?
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
“Thinking” it will not pass the Senate is not enough: you MUST be 100% UNITED against it and come out loud about where you stand. If ANY Democrat is waffling, let the public know so we can emphasize that We The People cannot tolerate ANY of them supporting the Save Act. no ifs, ands or buts….
4 House Dems joined with Republicans to pass this. It didn't say who the 4 Dems were.🤬
Golden, Glusencamp Perez, Cuellar and Case.
VOTE THEM OUT!!!! TRAITORS!!!!! THIS BILL IS BULLSHIT!!!! There is NO reason for it! There is .000625% of election fraud, and it's MOSTLY GOP committing it!!!!!
Yeah, funny how the people who insist there is fraud are the ones committing it.
Thugs. Hitler used this ploy. Stalin as well. Now Trump and his fascist swine employee it. Fight back America!
Censure!
Call their offices and tell them that they have betrayed the women of America. That says absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigrants voting… They’re just caving.
Those 4 Democrats should be VOTED OUT of office! Dammit they are supposed to be working FOR the people! WTF! 🤬 the people WILL rebel if this passes! BS!
Cuellar has always been a bit of an unconventional Dem. I don't know the other 3, now we know who to primary when they are up for election. In any case, I seriously doubt any of the Senate Dems will support it.
This is a bill looking for a problem that doesn’t exist. Typical republican move. Voter suppression on steroids!
I would argue that this bill thinks that the problem is really the fact that women, people of color and college students can vote.
Thank you Melissa!
Rat Bas^*rds!!
We need to know who they are.
These 4 dems🤬
I’ve been trying to find the names of the Democratic Congress people who voted yes Boo to them
Jared Golden, ME
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, WA
Henry Cuellar, TX
Ed Case, HI

My daughter and son in law have the same situation 😡
See my update on this here:

(Am just now learning how to do comments on Substack.)
Mine, too!
Agreed!
Fucking absolutely! We are still not under authoritarian rule, and Dems need to keep blocking unethical, cruel legislation!
Those 4 democrats who voted for this should be EXCORIATED.
When is Cuellar’s trial? He needs to go away.
If it requires any Democrats to vote along with this to pass it then I suggest you root out any feckless Democrats that think they'll just do this bipartisanship at this moment! You need to root out whoever it is, hunt them down, and tell them they will be primaried and shoved out of office!
Look out for Fetterman

If it passes, it will also disenfranchise people in the military stationed overseas as well as their families living abroad with them. Completely disgusting
What about men that were adopted or circumstances like it? There are alot of men, bit no mention, that I've seen?
This is the bill about proof of citizenship when voting. There is another bill about the name on the voter registration, which may affect adoptees and will affect married people who have taken their spouse’s name. Good point!

This is voter suppression , pure and undeniable
🎯🎯🎯
This is the reality! And they know it. I also had to go back for utility bill for prof of residence. If this was for voting I would be livid. We all should just be automatically registered to vote when we turn 18.
Well, that works in a world where the point is democracy, doesn’t it? But apparently this is a different game.
I had all my paperwork, and DMV still wouldn't take proof of address because the bill statement was in his name, not mine. We had just gotten married....i had to go to my bank to have a letter writing that that's where I lived now because it was one the bank records.

Same same. Never again.

This is so UNACCEPTABLE!!
And exactly the scenario that I was afraid of, by the way. Thank God my husband was frustrated with setting up accounts and I had to do a couple of them because the cell phone bill saved me when I got my realID.
So many typos thanks to autocorrect 🙄
I had to call the small county office in Kentucky to get my mom's marriage certificate. No one answered the phone for two weeks straight. I had to call another office in the courthouse to get them to get the clerk to answer her phone.
Yes, and if you had been divorced, you would have to show those documents, and if remarried, you'd need the marriage license. I experienced this.
If this terrible act becomes law then millions of women will experience this
If a single Democrat votes for this they better not ask for a single dollar again. 😤
If the constitution says a president cannot change an election how can a hated governor of Texas stop a new representative from being elected.
Democrats defend democracy and voting rights.
Oppression like the Save act, happen in places like Russia or Hungary. How can these Republican Representatives look themselves in the mirror, or even call themselves American patriots, when they are following the lead of a convicted felon, who cowtows to Dictators.

They need to kill this
Call your senators now. Democrats or republicans. Let them know what the people who put them in office think! I’m calling fetterman and McCormick right now.
Done?
Done!
Can’t wait to see how this ends up hopefully this save act goes down the toilet
