Republican Women, it’s time to step up on election integrity!

The SAVE Act (H.R) 22 is a commonsense safeguard to ensure only American citizens vote in American elections, but it is being held up in the Senate Rules Committee, chaired by Senator Mitch McConnell. We need our voices heard. Call Senator McConnell’s office today and respectfully request that he hold a markup in the Rules Committee and move the SAVE Act forward. Our elections, our confidence in the system, and President Trump's agenda are on the line. Let him know the Republican Women are watching and we expect action, not delay delays! Call 202-224-2541!

Summary of H.R. 22 119th Congress

Introduced in House (01/03/2025)

This bill requires individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.

Specifically, the bill prohibits states from accepting and processing an application to register to vote in a federal election unless the applicant presents documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. The bill specifies what documents are considered acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship, such as identification that complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates U.S. citizenship.

Further, the bill (1) prohibits states from registering an individual to vote in a federal election unless, at the time the individual applies to register to vote, the individual provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship; and (2) requires states to establish an alternative process under which an applicant may submit other evidence to demonstrate U.S. citizenship.

Each state must take affirmative steps on an ongoing basis to ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered to vote, which shall include establishing a program to identify individuals who are not U.S. citizens using information supplied by certain sources.

Additionally, states must remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.

The bill allows for a private right of action against an election official who registers an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

The bill establishes criminal penalties for certain offenses, including registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

 Dear WCRW Members & Friends,

We need your assistance contacting Congressman Mike McCaul who is now Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the House regarding putting our country at the risk of nuclear war and spending so much money in Ukraine.

Whether or not you approve of U.S. involvement in Ukraine, we should all be able to agree that:

-We don’t want a nuclear war or American troops on the ground defending Ukraine.
-There has to be fiscal accountability on money directed to Ukraine.
-The illegal Southern border invasion puts us all at direct risk of harm.
-We need to keep enough weapons inventory to protect our own country.

Please consider printing, signing, and mailing the attached letter that was created by our Legislative Chair, Deborah Peppers and approved by our Board.
