A graphic titled "HOW TO EMAIL YOUR SENATOR (THE PAPER TRAIL)." It notes that personalized emails are 88 percent more effective than copy-pasted form letters. It provides a template instructing the user to make the subject line "Constituent Urging a NO Vote on S. 1383," state their address, insert one or two specific facts from the thread's receipts, state that the bill is an unfunded mandate that will crash local election systems, and request a written response outlining the Senator's official position.

It instructs users to call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121, provide their zip code, and read one of four short scripts. Option A focuses on States' Rights and the DOGE data breach. Option B focuses on the military ID bans and rural poll tax. Option C focuses on the local government administrative collapse. Option D focuses on the disenfranchisement of married women.

7/ THE RECEIPTS: S. 1383 "SAVE America Act" mandates voter roll purges every 30 days using a federal database with a known 14% error rate. This explicitly violates the federal 90-day quiet period designed to prevent eligible voters from being illegally scrubbed right before Election Day. #NoOnSave
A two-part graphic titled "Illegal Mass Purges Using Error-Prone DHS 'SAVE' System." The left side features a Texas Tribune article highlighting that the SAVE database gave Denton County, Texas an error rate of at least 14 percent when identifying potential noncitizens. The right side shows a Brennan Center article highlighting that the legislation would mandate voter roll purges every 30 days, ending the 90-day quiet period that protects voters from being mistakenly thrown off the rolls right before Election Day.

A two-part graphic titled "A Logistical Collapse." The left side shows a Brennan Center article highlighting that 21.3 million Americans do not have proof of citizenship readily available, and at least 3.8 million do not have these documents at all. The right side shows an Institute for Responsive Government brief highlighting that the SAVE Act permits private citizens to sue election officials who they believe aren't sufficiently complying with the law, encouraging frivolous lawsuits and vigilante-ism.

A two-part graphic titled "The Trap For Married Women." The left side shows a FactCheck.org article stating that an estimated 69 million women have changed their name at marriage and their current legal name would not match their birth certificate. The right side shows an Institute for Responsive Government report stating that 1 in 3 married American women lack proof of citizenship documents with their current legal name.A graphic titled "Marriage Licenses are Not Listed as Documentary Proof of U.S. Citizenship and No Direction for Transgender Voters with Name Changes to Verify Citizenship." It displays pages of the S. 1383 legislative text outlining acceptable documentary proof of United States citizenship. The highlighted text shows that a final adoption decree is explicitly listed as an acceptable document to show a name and U.S. birthplace, but marriage certificates are completely absent from the list.

3/ THE RECEIPTS: Text of S. 1383 explicitly outlaws using State University Student IDs, rejects standard Tribal IDs, & declares an official U.S. Military ID is not enough to vote without hunting down extra physical service records. It also makes it hard for transgender individuals to vote #NoOnSave
A three-part graphic titled "TARGETING TROOPS, STUDENTS, NATIVE, & TRANSGENDER VOTERS." The top left highlights S. 1383 bill text showing an official U.S. military ID requires an accompanying military record of service to prove a U.S. birthplace. The top right highlights bill text requiring Tribal IDs to have an expiration date and outlining a strict list of allowed IDs that excludes university student IDs. The bottom shows a Center for American Progress article explaining that the SAVE Act would be particularly difficult for transgender voters because they face barriers to updating passports and birth certificates.

Trump admin admitted illegal transfer to group in court filing #NoOnSave
A three-part graphic titled "The End of State's Rights and DOGE Voter Data Breach." The left shows a Brennan Center article about the Trump administration conceding that DOGE team members agreed to turn over state voter rolls to an advocacy group.

1/ 🚨 The "SAVE America Act" isn't about election security. It’s an unfunded federal takeover built on compromised data, designed to crash local elections and disenfranchise millions The graphic & replies break it down. Jenny Cohn practiced law 20+ years Script below to ☎️ Your Senators #NoOnSave👇 🧵
A graphic titled "THE SAVE ACT: A BLUEPRINT FOR ELECTION COLLAPSE." It lists seven bullet points detailing the impacts of Senate Bill 1383. Point 1 notes the DOJ is forcing states to hand over voter rolls to the compromised DOGE database. Point 2 states the bill targets troops, students, Native, and transgender voters by banning certain IDs and offering no name verification method for transgender voters. Point 3 highlights a geography tax forcing some rural voters to drive up to 4.5 hours to register in person. Point 4 states local election volunteers face 5 years in federal prison for paperwork mistakes. Point 5 explains a trap for married women, noting 1 in 3 lack documentation and the bill does not explicitly mention marriage certificates. Point 6 describes a logistical collapse, citing 25 million citizens lacking required documents and the threat of frivolous lawsuits against election officials. Point 7 states the bill mandates illegal mass purges every 30 days using a database with a 14 percent error rate. The graphic concludes with a call to action to "Demand Your Senators Vote No" at (202) 224-3121 and lists sources at the bottom.
