Text SIGN PJUWYX to 50409 — I’m writing in strong opposition to H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to safeguard free and fair elections and ensure all American citizens can freely, securely, and easily exercise their right to vote. The SAVE Act represents a dangerous departure from fulfilling this duty, and as currently written, this bill will make it significantly harder, if not outright impossible, for millions of Republican, Democratic, and independent voters to register to vote and have their voices heard. Federal law already states that it is illegal for non-U.S. citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in a federal election (18 U.S. C. § 1015). It’s an existing crime that is punishable by up to five years in prison. Election officials already use extensive state and federal data, including citizenship data, to verify an individual’s eligibility to cast a ballot. Introduction of the SAVE Act is the most recent example of a string of schemes to make voting more difficult for citizens, while hiding behind a thin veil of disinformation promoting false narratives of wide-spread voter fraud. Even President Trump’s Presidential Advisory Committee on Election Integrity was disbanded after it was not able to find evidence of widespread voter fraud in U.S. elections. Despite overwhelming evidence attesting to the integrity of federal elections, many Americans continue to voice concerns about our elections – we encourage Congress to be receptive to those concerns, but it must do so responsibly and constitutionally. Instead of proceeding with this dangerous bill, Congress should take actions that will strengthen our elections and ensure that all eligible voters have access to the ballot box. Please vote NO. Thanks.

The reported actions by Elon Musk and his associates to gain control over critical government IT systems and processes is extremely concerning and represents a severe overreach of power. As a private citizen, Musk holds no elected office or other legitimate authority to interfere with the operations of federal agencies like the Treasury Department or the Office of Personnel Management. Allowing unauthorized individuals to access sensitive data and systems that manage trillions in funds and contain personal information of millions of federal employees is a reckless violation of security protocols. This flagrant disregard for proper procedures jeopardizes the integrity of government functions and public trust. Immediate steps must be taken to revoke any access Musk or his affiliates have obtained and reinstate full control to the career civil servants intended to operate these systems. Unelected private citizens should never be permitted to exert undue influence over core government operations in this manner. Prompt action to address this unlawful intrusion is imperative to uphold the separation of powers and defend democratic norms.

Hi, all, and happy Tuesday.
