Dear John,

Here we go again. Some in Congress are trying to make it harder for Americans to vote, and they’re calling it “election integrity.” The SAVE America Act would force people to produce extra citizenship documents just to register and vote in federal elections.

Let’s be clear: only citizens can vote now. That’s already the law. This bill isn’t fixing a real problem; it’s creating new ones for eligible voters.

The SAVE America Act would:

  1. Disenfranchise voters by creating huge new burdens on registering and voting, causing confusion, delays, and discrimination at the polls.
  2. Paperwork becomes a paywall. Not everyone has a passport or a perfect birth certificate sitting in a drawer. Replacing documents costs time and money. When voting starts to feel like a trip to the DMV that never ends, regular people get pushed out.
  3. Disproportionately impact communities of color, seniors, women, young people, rural voters, and low-income families, making disparities in accessing the ballot even worse, It hits Latinos first and hardest. Hyphenated names, two last names, accent marks; our names tell our stories, but in databases they trigger “mismatches.”
  4. Intimidate and suppress voters — particularly naturalized citizens and communities of color — from participating in elections. It scares mixed-status families. When voter rolls start talking to immigration databases, people worry. Even citizens think twice if it could bring heat to their household. That’s not integrity; that’s intimidation.

This is how voter suppression looks in 2026; not with literacy tests, but with red tape.

Voting is how we fight for better schools, safer neighborhoods, fair wages, and real opportunity. When politicians make voting harder, they’re not protecting democracy; they’re protecting their own power.

This is a moment when your voice actually counts. Offices track calls. Staff log every message. When the lines light up, lawmakers pay attention.
