The US needs to stop dumbing down our country and invest in our future. This is incredible. China isn't wasting their money on wars, they are investing in alternative energy and technology. We can't hid behind tariffs. We can't be run by oil companies and who pays the most.

Very important to understand that the Save America Act will make it hard for women to vote. Married women will have to show a birth certificate, a marriage license, AND sign a affidavit, requiring a notary which is a poll tax, same with passports $150.
The SAVE America Act will throw our elections into chaos — confusing voters and imposing a modern-day poll tax.
Republicans are trying to tilt the playing field because they can’t win on their ideas. We should expand access to the ballot, not restrict it.
