...Maga Republicans Who Voted Against Hurricane Relief...

I’m confused. That bill passed.

I understand the attempt to tie the fact fema is saying they are out of money now with republicans who voted against this bill

But the bill passed.

I suppose if the bill failed. And it was a clean bill with no other pork. And then fema ran out of money the argument would be valid.

But in this case the argument fails. The bill passed

My Congressman was on the list. As I get his email newsletter, I also knew why he opposed it. Below is my Letter to the Editor of our local newspaper. If you are in a similar position, you have my permission to use any or all of it.

Dear Editor:

With Hurricane Helene raging in the Gulf last week, Congressman _________ voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A week earlier, Congressman ________ also voted against a spending plan to avert a government shutdown. He was upset that Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act, making it a crime for non-citizens to vote.

Non-citizens aren’t voting and Congressman ___________offers no evidence they are. The State's Attorney General has yet to indict anyone for the State crime, and it’s already federal law: Title 18 U.S. Code Sec 611 makes it unlawful for an alien to vote in a federal election. Just to beat this dead horse some more, Texas requires a Birth Certificate to obtain a drivers license, which is the primary identification necessary for voting.

Congressman ________ continued pursuit of the SAVE Act is a political strategy for the upcoming election; however, his votes could have resulted in real harm to us had Helene or Milton struck here. If he believes non-citizens are voting he’s a fool, but if he doesn’t and continues to promote this myth in an effort to suppress the vote of American citizens who look like immigrants, he’s worse.
