44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.
Republicans' budget guts both programs.
Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents donβt match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?
