Will Republican Voters Ever Understand?

I wish there was a way to make Republican voters understand that Republicans in Congress are not fulfilling their oaths of office. All government employees take an oath stating that they are to defend America against all enemies, foreign or domestic.

We currently have hundreds of people in the Executive Branch who are literally domestic terrorists. They are behaving in ways that are contrary to both the Constitution and federal law. They are behaving in ways that will literally kill sick Americans and discourage vaccinations which will kill more people. They are behaving in ways that will send thousands more Americans into the streets. They are behaving in ways that can deny jobs to women and minorities. Some members of the Executive Branch have stood up to the domestic terrorists, refusing to help them and some have resigned.

Some member of the Judicial Branch have stood up to Trump's lawbreaking, but they haven't made him accept any consequences. For example, the funds allocated to USAID were recently ruled that they must be spent as Congress decided they should be spent. And yet - Trump isn't releasing the funds.

A pity Republicans in Congress are so impotent that they won't stand up to obvious domestic terrorists. A pity Democrats in Congress couldn't be more organized in their protests against the Executive Branch.

Be Sure to Write to Your Rep/Senators About the SAVE Act (if you want to vote in the future)

The SAVE Act is "disguised" as a way to help keep non-citizens from voting. In reality, it's a way to deny the right to vote to trans people and most women. If you'd read Project 2025 last year, you'd know Republicans wanted to do anything they could possibly do to restrict many people from voting.

But they are particularly going after women and trans people by requiring the name on your voter registration to match the name on your birth certificate.

My husband and I married in 1977 and we spent much of our engagement year figuring out what last name to take. We had mixed feelings about hyphenated names and even thought about creating a new name. But, after long discussion, I decided to take his last name (but never, ever his first name).

I will return to my birth name in a second (though I know it will take longer than that) if the SAVE Act passes the Senate and is signed by Trump. No regime will deny me my right to vote.

It's already been passed by a House committee, so it's on the way to the House and Senate.

WRITE TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE/SENATORS OR NOW!!

Here's what I wrote to Senator McCormick (and a similar letter to Senator Fetterman, but with a different last paragraph):

 

I am disgusted (but not surprised) that the House passed the Save Act which would take away the voting rights of millions of people (especially women since so many married women took their husband's last names).

While I took my husband's last name when we married in 1977 (by choice - we preferred to have a joint family name), he knows I will revert to my birth last name in a second should the Senate also pass the SAVE Act.

Please show that at least one Republican cares about voting rights. I haven't seen one support voting rights in a very long time.

I'm sorry that my original posting was somewhat incorrect and appreciate that a woman at a local Democratic Committee Meeting gave me a correction that it hadn't passed the House yet. And I will write to my Reprentative, Summer Lee, even though I'm sure she'd never vote for it.
