Why the SAVE Act terrifies Democrats
Tom Tradup Sep 07, 2024
Congress returns to work this week following the August recess. Most observers predict it’ll be a sprint to pass legislation on key issues before the November elections…with the highest priority for the GOP being the SAVE Act.
Simply put, this critically needed law—technically known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act—requires potential voters to provide documented proof of American citizenship at the time they register to vote. Seems obvious, simple, and wise. And unlike weasel-worded legislation crafted by Democrats, the SAVE Act (introduced by conservative GOP Congressman Chip Roy of Texas) is designed to actually do what its name implies: confirm and safeguard the eligibility of every voter before he or she can cast a ballot in any federal election.
This is in stark contrast to such D.C. prevarications asthe Democrats’ highly touted “Inflation Reduction Act” (you know, the one for which their unelected, appointed nominee Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote? That “Inflation Reduction Act.”) On August 10th, President Joe Biden said he “regretted” the name of his signature legislative achievement “because it has less to do with reducing inflation than providing alternatives where we can generate economic growth.” (CODE: funneling grants and contracts for make-work leaf raking jobs and other Green New featherbedding for the Harris/Biden Administration’s cronies in labor unions.)
Another classic Democrat 3-Card Monte word game—trotted out by rote again this week in the aftermath of the deadly school shootings at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia—is “Common Sense Gun Laws.” The bodies of two students and two teachers killed in those horrific shootings had not yet been identified before “career prosecutor” Kamala Harris was racing to the TV cameras without any facts or solid information, like a mynah bird screeching “Common Sense Gun Laws. Common Sense Gun Laws.”(One doesn’t need to be Wayne LaPierre to know that when Democrats cry “Common Sense Gun Laws” they really mean gun confiscation via another of the entries in their partisan thesaurus: “Firearm buybacks.”) The Democrats are so steeped in lies (like the reduction act they now admit doesn’t actually lower inflation and gun laws which are the farthest things from common sense) that when confronted by something like the SAVE Act—which says what it means and means what it says—they recoil like garden variety vampires when confronted with a crucifix.
