[Write to Congress: donât let election deniers shut down our government >>]( {NAME}, weâre just weeks from a crucial government funding deadline â and missing it means delayed air travel and healthcare, threats to our environment and safety, and furloughs for millions of federal workers without pay. [1] Â But this week, a far-right group of lawmakers is threatening to block any bill thatâd keep our government running, unless it includes their wishlist of election denial and voter suppression policies. [2] They're demanding a new law meant to deter newly naturalized citizens from voting and make it harder for ALL eligible voters to cast a ballot â and theyâre holding our entire government hostage to pass it. [Common Cause wonât let it happen â can you send a message to your members of Congress today?]( [TAKE ACTION]( Letâs be clear â election deniers in Congress are pushing a solution in search of a problem. Itâs already 100% illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections â but the hurdles and red tape in their so-called âSAVE Actâ would potentially prevent millions of legally eligible citizens from registering and voting. Thatâs all the proof you need that these politicians donât really care about the integrity of our elections â but instead are doing this to get media attention, raise money, and flatter former President Trump and his lies about the 2020 election that he lost. But {NAME}, threatening to shut down our government for such self-interested reasons is the precise opposite of what our elected officials â who are meant to serve in the publicâs interest â should be doing. Â [We need to call them out â loudly and clearly â and CONDEMN this political ploy to shut down our government to satisfy election deniers. Will you write to Congress today?]( Thanks for all you do, Aaron Scherb, Senior Director of Legislative Affairs
