The SAVE Act is a poll tax.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.
As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

They should have the same health care options we all have! There is a law that says the law makers in Congress/Senate should not have any privileges that the common citizen does not have. They voted many years ago to give themselves the Cadillac of Healthcare plans while we got bumpkis!

Peaceful protests are not illegal unless you live in Russia.
But since 🍊💩 thinks it's perfectly ok and legal to storm the US Capitol, I guess the protesters should do that instead.
