Indivisible GuideTell Your Senator(s) to Vote NO on the Silencing Americans ActRepublicans are once again pushing what we’re calling the “Silencing Americans Act”, a dangerous bill that would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote. The House passed it last session, but it never made it to the Senate — now they’re bringing it back in an attempt to restrict access to the ballot. The Silencing Americans Act (H.R. 22 and 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 passed, the Silencing Americans Act 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 who 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 the form with your information (feel free to add an optional additional comment, if you like), and we'll make sure your email is delivered to your senator(s). The email to your senator(s):
“It’s happening in houses of worship, in medical clinics.
“What are we going to do? Make the whole country into a fort?”
“We’re all sitting ducks. And any country that allows this to continue without putting forward just common sense safety measures is a country that has – in a tragic way – lost its way.”
the vast majority of Americans favored strengthening gun safety laws. 
Warnock said polls show most in the US overwhelmingly support universal background checks. 
Yet federal lawmakers have not been able to get enough votes to clear procedural hurdles preventing Congress from meaningfully consider either issue.
