Retired from teaching and NPS. Enjoying life with husband and dog in SC. Happy gramma. Trying to believe that my small actions will contribute to a revolution of love.

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language.

But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax.

Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Actβ€”all of which, except military IDs, cost money.

As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1οΏ , no one should have to pay to vote.
