The SAVE Act has passed the house 😓 Don't let the Senate bring it to a vote.
With a 53-47 majority, Senate Republicans would need Democratic support to overcome the 60-vote threshold to advance the bill to a final vote and ultimately send it to Trump to sign into law.
Ending debate and bringing a bill to a vote is called "cloture." This takes 60 votes in the Senate. Once the bill is brought to a vote, it only takes a simple majority to pass, which Republicans have. So refusing to bring the bill to a vote is our best shot.
If you live in the U.S, your state has two senators. Regardless of your legal status, they represent you. Tell your senators to vote NO on cloture and NO on the SAVE Act. Even if they plan to vote no on the bill itself, a vote for cloture throws us under the bus and lets the SAVE Act pass.
I'm on my knees... I'm offering fic... I'm holding your hand. We're all spotting you. You got this. 🏋️♂️
Even if you've lost faith in the broader workings of Congress, the SAVE Act is a really specific piece of legislation with potentially devastating consequences.
The more people who call, the louder that chorus becomes, and the harder it is for representatives to ignore. It's about standing up for what you believe in, even if the immediate outcome isn't guaranteed.
