Hi John,

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) is likely to be voted on in Congress next week. This bill claims to protect elections, but it actually makes it harder (or even impossible) for millions of Americans to vote. 

The SAVE Act would require Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or enhanced drivers license (which is only available in five states) to register or re-register to vote, and the name on the proof of citizenship must exactly match your current name. A REAL ID will not be accepted as a form of identification for voting under this law, even though it requires the same documentation.

This bill could affect tens of millions of Americans, everyone from people who changed their last name when getting married to people who can't afford a passport or people who don't have easy access to their birth certificate. 

That's not safeguarding democracy. That's rigging it to favor the powerful few. 

The vote is coming soon. It's urgent you tell your representatives to oppose the SAVE Act.
