URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Urge the Senate to REJECT the SAVE Act (H.R. 22)
The SAVE Act (H.R. 22)—the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act—claims to protect election integrity, but in reality, it would impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration, particularly harming young people, communities of color, the elderly, and naturalized citizens.
Why We Must Oppose This Bill:
The SAVE Act would require burdensome proof-of-citizenship documentation to register to vote—a solution in search of a problem. There is no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting in federal elections. Instead, this bill would disenfranchise eligible voters, create confusion, and suppress voter turnout in vulnerable communities.
What's at Stake:
If passed, the SAVE Act would make it significantly harder for many Americans to exercise their fundamental right to vote. It would undermine decades of progress in expanding access to the ballot and would disproportionately impact marginalized groups.
TAKE ACTION NOW: Please contact Senator John Fetterman and ask him to listen to the voices of his constituents and demand he VOTE NO on H.R. 22!
We have provided a sample phone script and email/letter below.

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [City, State].
I’m calling to urge Senator Fetterman to vote NO on the SAVE Act (H.R. 22).
This bill would create unnecessary barriers to voter registration, disproportionately impacting eligible American citizens, including seniors, students, and naturalized immigrants. There is no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting, and this legislation would only serve to suppress lawful voters and weaken our democracy.
Please protect the right to vote for all Americans—oppose the SAVE Act.
Thank you for your time and your leadership.

Subject: Please Vote NO on the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) — Protect Voting Rights
Dear Senator Fetterman,
I am writing to respectfully urge you to vote NO on the SAVE Act (H.R. 22). This legislation, while claiming to protect election integrity, would instead create unnecessary barriers for eligible Americans to register and vote.
There is no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting in federal elections. Imposing strict proof-of-citizenship requirements would disproportionately impact young voters, seniors, low-income individuals, and naturalized citizens — communities that already face systemic barriers to accessing the ballot box.
Voting is a fundamental right in our democracy, and we must focus on making it more accessible, not more restrictive. The SAVE Act risks disenfranchising lawful voters and rolling back decades of hard-fought progress in expanding voting rights.
I urge you to stand up for democracy and voting access by opposing H.R.22. Please vote NO on the SAVE Act.
Thank you for your time and your commitment to protecting the rights of all Americans.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

CALL TO ACTION: Medicaid and the ACA Under Threat – Speak Out Before It’s Too Late
The Continuing Resolution passed by Congress on March 15th (H.R. 1968) proposes devastating $880 billion cuts to Medicaid—while offering major tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, these cuts could lead to millions losing health coverage and shift massive financial burdens to the states. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is also being targeted—especially Medicaid expansion—which means immediate coverage losses and long-term harm.
Why We Must Oppose This Bill:
Medicaid is a lifeline for 72 million Americans, covering:
-
2 in 5 U.S. births
-
2 in 5 children
-
1 in 6 non-elderly adults
-
2 in 5 adults with disabilities
-
1 in 4 people with mental illness or substance use disorders
-
3 in 5 nursing home residents
These cuts come through new, restrictive rules: work requirements, reduced provider payments, limits on provider taxes, and caps on state-directed payments.
What's at Stake:
States may be forced to cut benefits, shrink eligibility, or defund other critical programs to manage the fallout.
The kicker? These cuts aren’t about reducing the deficit. In fact, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, they could increase it—while redistributing money to the wealthiest through tax cuts.
TAKE ACTION NOW: Please contact Senator John Fetterman and ask him to listen to the voices of his constituents and demand he VOTE NO on H.R. 1968!
The current resolution runs through September 30, 2025, giving us time—but not much. We must act now to protect essential healthcare coverage and demand a budget that reflects the needs of everyday Americans, not just corporate interests.
We have provided a sample phone script and email/letter below.
You can contact Senator John Fetterman online through this link or by calling or writing to his Capitol office:

What to ask Senator John Fetterman
Here is a sample script if you call his office:
“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City]. I strongly oppose the harmful Medicaid cuts in H.R. 1968. These changes would take healthcare away from vulnerable Americans and do not reflect our values. I urge you to reject any legislation that weakens Medicaid or the ACA.”
Thank you for your time and your leadership.
Here is a sample email or letter to Senator Fetterman. You can use this as is or write a letter in your own words.
Subject: Urgent: Oppose Medicaid Cuts in H.R. 1968
Dear Senator Fetterman,
I’m writing as a concerned constituent from [Your City, State] to urge you to strongly oppose the harmful Medicaid cuts proposed in H.R. 1968.
This resolution would strip nearly $880 billion from a program that provides critical healthcare coverage to more than 72 million Americans—including children, people with disabilities, and low-income seniors. These cuts would not only jeopardize individual health and well-being but also shift enormous financial burdens to states already struggling to provide essential services.
Provisions such as new work requirements, restricted provider funding, and efforts to roll back Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act will cause millions to lose access to care. At the same time, these cuts fund massive tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, which is both unjust and fiscally irresponsible.
I respectfully urge you to vote NO on any budget or legislation that includes drastic Medicaid cuts or weakens the ACA. Please stand up for our communities, for working families, and for equitable access to healthcare.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

Action Alert: Ask the US Senate to Pass HR 1280 "The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021"
The United States House recently passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021. The bill, HR 1280, is designed to hold Police accountable for their actions, improve data collection and reform Police training and policies to ensure that Police are responsible in their use of force. HR 1280 is now under consideration by the United States Senate. The NAACP of Bucks County supports this bill and urges our Pennsylvania Senators to pass HR 1280 and advance it to the President to be signed into law.
Please contact Senator John Fetterman. Ask him to listen to the voices of his constituents who are unduly burdened by the actions of Law Enforcement and to support the comprehensive Police reform in HR 1280.
We have provided a sample phone script and email/letter below.
You can contact Senator John Fetterman online through this link or by calling or writing to his Capitol office:

About This Bill: HR 1280
George Floyd and Eric Garner both died due to asphyxiation brought about by sustained pressure on the neck by Law Enforcement Officers. Chokeholds are not a safe or appropriate tool for Law Enforcement in the course of their daily duties.
The use of no-knock warrants allows Police Officers to enter the premises without knocking or announcing their presence. This type of warrant poses a harm to both the occupants and the officers as we saw in the death of Breonna Taylor.
When bad things happen, Police are often granted qualified immunity, which leaves victims of egregious behavior without legal remedy. Many times, Officers who violate policies, who knowingly break the law or are just plain incompetent can be fired from their position in one Police Department only to be hired in another without question as we saw following the murder of Terrence Crutcher.
We need common sense legislation to protect the lives of all citizens. We need uniform Police policies, uniform Police practices, and data collection to identify trends and areas that need improvement. But most importantly we need HR 1280 to be passed into law.
HR 1280 addresses a wide range of policing actions and lays the framework for Law Enforcement accountability. The bill will:
• Restrict the use of chokeholds and unnecessary use of force
• Ban the use of no-knock warrants
• Enhance data collection
• Limit qualified immunity
• Establish policy and Police training requirements
• Limit racial profiling
• Create a national Police registry
• Direct the DOJ to create national accreditation standards for all Police Departments to follow
What to ask Senator John Fetterman
Here is a sample script if you call his office:
My name is [YOUR NAME] and I live in [YOUR TOWN].
I am calling to ask Senator Fetterman to listen to his constituents who are unduly burdened by the actions of Law Enforcement and support comprehensive police reform. I am asking for Senator Fetterman to vote YES on HR 1280 because everyone should feel safe and protected by the Police. All Law Enforcement agencies should ban the use of chokeholds, ban the use of no-knock warrants, develop uniform policies and procedures, and promote transparency through the reporting of trends on the use of force. This bill has already passed in the House, and now we need a vote in the Senate so that this bill can become law.
Here is a sample email or letter to Senator Fetterman. You can use this as is or write a letter in your own words.
Dear Senator Fetterman,
I am writing to ask you to vote YES to support the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 and support comprehensive police reform. Everyone should feel safe and protected by law enforcement. This bill already passed in the House and is an important step to ban practices that have led to the unnecessary and avoidable deaths of many. The bill will also ensure that Police are responsible in their use of force and hold them accountable if they are not.
HR 1280 bans the use of chokeholds, bans the use of no-knock warrants, promotes the development of uniform policies and procedures, and promotes transparency through the reporting of trends on the use of force. Accurate and complete information is essential to understanding Police use of force in Pennsylvania and across the nation.
Please help build a nation in which we all feel safe and protected by law enforcement and vote YES on HB 1280.
Sincerely,

Stop PA Judicial Gerrymandering - Say NO to H.B. 38
H.B. 38 takes away the power of Bucks voters by changing the way judges are elected to Pennsylvania appellate courts. Rather than the state-wide elections we have today, state appellate judges - who make decisions for our entire state - would be elected in regional districts drawn by lawmakers. If H.B. 38 passes, it will go to voters as a referendum for a constitutional amendment.
Today we vote for all these judges. If this bill and constitutional amendment pass, it will take away our ability to vote on 90% of the judges. Legislators will be able to rig judicial districts to protect their party and to influence judges to rule in the interests of their party. The power of larger communities with more people of color will be reduced.
H.B. 38 is being rushed through now by leaders for partisan purposes and the vote is expected to be close. Votes will be happening in the PA Senate and House by early February. Bucks County legislators are absolutely essential to stopping this power grab.
As Bucks County voters, we can make a real difference! Take action today to make your voice heard.
