I voted to protect voting rights
We have to fight back now.
Jason,
I am writing to you with a sense of profound urgency. Our most fundamental rights — the right to vote — is under a coordinated, direct assault by Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.
Last week, I stood on the House floor and cast a defiant NO vote against the so-called "SAVE Act."
Don't let the name fool you. This isn't a good-faith effort to secure our elections. It is a calculated "paperwork trap" designed by Donald Trump to steal the 2026 midterms before a single ballot is even cast.
This bill is a strike against women. By requiring a birth certificate that perfectly matches your current photo ID, this law would effectively slam the door on up to 69 million women who changed their last names after getting married. If your current ID says "Jones" but your birth certificate says "Smith," the GOP's message is clear: You are no longer eligible to vote.
Make no mistake: this bill is a poll tax by another name. It is specifically engineered to disenfranchise the very people the GOP fears most: low-income Americans who can't afford the $165 fee for a passport, naturalized citizens who must produce the original, hard-to-replace documents, and young voters who often lack the specific "approved" documentation.
This threat is immediate and urgent. This dangerous bill has already cleared the House by a razor-thin margin. Now, the fight moves to the Senate, where MAGA extremists are threatening to tear up the rules and eliminate the filibuster just to force this onto Donald Trump's desk.
They are changing the rules because they know they cannot win a fair fight. They see the polls, they see our momentum, and they've decided that if they can't win your heart, they will simply silence your voice.
We are the last line of defense. Thank you for standing with me.
— Josh
