Ahead of an expected vote on the SAVE America Act in the House, nearly 100 conservative leaders are urging the Senate to pass the election integrity measure using the talking filibuster.
The SAVE America Act, an updated version of the SAVE Act, would secure America’s elections by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and requiring voter identification.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, in the House and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in the Senate is expected to pass the House this week. Conservatives are now calling on Senate Republicans to do everything in their power to pass this legislation.

On Monday, the Conservative Action Project published a memo addressing Senate Republicans urging them to pass the SAVE America Act using any means necessary.
“There is no issue more critical to a securely functioning democracy than guaranteeing the sacred right of citizens to cast their votes,” said the Conservative Action Project’s memo read.
“Conservatives urge Senate Majority Leader John Thune and all Senate Republicans to use every procedural opportunity afforded to them, including forcing a talking filibuster, to pass the SAVE America Act,” stated the letter, signed by almost 100 movement leaders.
Prominent signatories include former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, President of American Principles Project Terry Schilling, First Liberty Institute President Kelly J. Shackelford, Conservative Partnership Institute President Ed Corrigan, and many more.
The memo also warns that Senate Democrats already plan to filibuster this bill, which is why Republicans must use the talking filibuster. “A talking filibuster is one of the Senate’s oldest traditions and has been used for centuries to break filibusters through physical exhaustion,” the memo explains.
“The Senate is the most powerful deliberative body in the world. Over the course of American history its leaders have shown grit, determination, and procedural savvy to accomplish legislative aims that transformed the country. We ask this current Senate, led by Leader Thune, to do the same,” the memo concluded.
