Save America Act is voter suppression The Save America Act, passed by the House of Representatives and strongly supported by  Claudia  Tenney, is a voter registration bill  that  wants to take  away State’s rights to manage their own elections and voters.   The  proposed  voter registration  process   requires ,  as proof of citizenship ,   birth certificates, passports and, for those who take a spouse’s name, the legal Marriage Certificate to prove the  name  change.   It’s a  costly process many cannot afford and heavily tips the scales towards those with  mobility,  money ,  tim e,  and  transportation  necessary  to get over the hurdles.  Further, t he  stated purpose of the legislation is based on a false premise - that  non-citizen voters pose a threat to election integrity across the nation, and only Federal intervention can correct the problem.  ...

The American Dream  was built on Opportunity for All: the chance for  anyone to work hard and have a better life. But Claudia Tenney and the GOP Congress shattered that dream. She has given us Tax breaks for billionaires Tariffs raising prices Cuts to our hospitals Higher healthcare costs Hungry children Fewer jobs Hurting schools Elderly in poverty It doesn’t have to be this way.

  In recent months we have seen horrific violence perpetrated by Federal employees in ICE.  Their violence has killed five Americans to date, in each case someone doing nothing wrong.  Many more Americans have been wounded by gunfire, vehicular ramming or beating by people who work on behalf of the Federal government.  Thousands have been illegally abducted. Without due process, these are kidnappings not legal arrests.  Claudia Tenney has issued press releases , made Twitter posts and done press interviews defending this violence.  Claudia Tenney presents the agents of ICE as representing the law, where in fact they are the ones breaking the law. In so doing, she is promoting a lawless society and violence by the state against its own people.   We at indivisible Seneca want  all law enforcement agencies operating on US soil bound by the same protections of due process.  This includes ICE. Why won’t Tenney try to protect us from this ov...

  May this holiday season be a time of reflection, gratitude and renewed goodwill toward family, friends, and country. Peace, charity and goodwill are wishes for most Americans, yet they are hard to find in today's political environment. Reflecting on ways to find and encourage those who demonstrate them can be a rewarding holiday activity.
