AMAC Members Play Pivotal Role In Passing Crucial Election Integrity Bill
The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a critical bill to address the pressing threat of noncitizens voting in American elections.
Passage of this bill notably comes following a nationwide AMAC Action outreach campaign from AMAC members, who sent more than 19,000 messages to their representatives in the U.S. House urging a “yes” vote on this legislation.
Among other important provisions, the SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship when individuals register to vote in federal elections, empower citizens to sue election officials who fail to enforce citizenship requirements, enable states to use federal databases free of charge to confirm citizenship status, and protect the rights of naturalized citizens to register and cast their ballots.
The bill passed by a count of 221-198, with all 198 “no” votes coming from Democrats.
Following passage of the bill, AMAC Action President Bob Carlstrom issued the following statement: “AMAC Action appreciates the efforts by Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Chip Roy, and Senator Mike Lee to secure our elections. The Democrats who voted against this bill have validated what many have believed all along – our border was thrown open by Joe Biden with the intent to allow noncitizens to enter the country illegally and decide our elections. After our successful call-to-action campaign to help get the SAVE Act passed in the House, we will now turn our attention to driving support for it in the Senate. The future of our republic rests on free and fair elections.”
AMAC Action will continue to empower our members to push for passage of this bill through the Senate, along with holding accountable those members of Congress who refused to take common-sense steps to preserve the sanctity of the ballot box.

Stop Ranked Choice Voting in Colorado
A wealthy Denver, Colorado billionaire just released petitions for a ballot initiative, #310, which would allegedly “modernize” Colorado’s election processes. It would create an all-new, all-candidates, all-party primary election, allowing all voters to vote for any candidate for each office, regardless of the voters’ or candidates’ political party affiliation. Voters will also be subjected to a complex and confusing voting process called Ranked Choice Voting in the General election. Three grass-roots citizen ballot initiatives, called “The Good Initiatives,” have been crafted to counter these threats to Colorado’s elections. Help is needed for Coloradans to not only sign petitions to ensure these initiatives appear on the ballot in November in Colorado but to also to circulate the petitions because signatures are required from voters in every Colorado Senate District. If you live in Colorado, click here to learn more and to sign the petitions!

O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain;
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea.

The idea of trying — to do important things even if there are difficulties in the way — that is what living a life with a sense of responsibility is all about. The comment by Myrna is very good, in the right spirit of how to approach this election issue. This SAVE Act is one of the best things to happen in history of the United States. Praise for the efforts of Speaker Johnson, Rep.Chip Roy and Senator Mike Lee. And praise for everyone at AMAC who have helped. with this issue.
We are in the middle of finding out if elections can be saved. We have to try.
