Senators should know that the anti-voter SAVE Act will likely soon be headed their way. Enough senators could easily kill the bill by refusing to allow it to come up for a vote, and they should be ready to do so.

The SAVE Act and a new executive order represent some of the worst federal voting policies in U.S. history.

Voting is NOT broken, but will be if SAVE ACT âfixesâ are allowed to go into effect. The last line of defense against voter suppression is the U.S. Senate. Call your Senator now (202) 224-3121 or send a message. Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act. Fast form here>
