CALL NOW: Tell Your Senator to Vote NO on Legislation Silencing Americans
H.R. 22 (what we’re referring to as the “Silencing Americans Act”), ” passed the House on April 10th with a vote of 220-208. This dangerous bill would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote.
H.R. 22 and its Senate version, S. 128, would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. Because the bill would require showing this proof in person, it would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. This bill wouldn’t improve election security—it would just make it significantly harder for everyday Americans to vote.
If it passes the Senate, this legislation would disproportionately impact:
- Married women who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name
- Naturalized citizens could face additional barriers and intimidation
- Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents
- And others!
We’ve seen the damage of similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Americans without citizenship status are already barred from voting in federal elections, and states have secure systems in place to verify voter eligibility - this bill is unnecessary.
Fill out this form right now, and we’ll connect you to your Senator. Tell them you want them to protect voting rights and vote against H.R. 22, and the Senate version S. 128.

Republicans shouldn’t be given unchecked power to disenfranchise American voters: Vote NO on the SAVE Act
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask [Senator] to vote against the H.R. 22 and S. 128.. These bills aren’t about election security—they’re a blatant voter suppression tactic designed to make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register and vote.
There are already strict laws in place preventing anyone who is not a citizen from voting in federal elections. This bill is unnecessary, and its only purpose is to make it harder for us to vote, plain and simple.
Tell [Senator] that I expect them to protect voting rights—not make it more difficult. I urge them to vote NO on H.R. 22, S. 128 and any other bills that would disenfranchise Americans.
