Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the SAVE America Act because nothing matters more than securing our elections. Our Republic depends on it.

Free, fair, and honest elections unmoored by fraud or suspicion are fundamental to our constitutional Republic. The right of citizens to have their votes properly counted without illegal dilution is vital to determining the rightful winner.

This legislation is straightforward. It requires proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID for Federal elections. It ensures only American citizens participate in American elections and provides States with tools to determine and verify the citizenship and maintain accurate voter rolls.

There is only one reason not to pass this, and we all know what that is. Some in this Chamber oppose anything that interferes with their effort to control elections and consolidate power.

Congressional Democrats sat silent as the Biden administration allowed millions of illegal immigrants into the United States. I fear the intention was to garner votes. However, my colleagues across the aisle now have an opportunity to prove me wrong by supporting this widely popular legislation.

The SAVE America Act reinforces that voting is a right only of citizens, not just anyone within our borders. Opposition to this act makes sense in that context, but that is precisely why we must pass it.

We have a duty to the American people to preserve their voice, protect their vote, and secure their sovereignty, and we must save the Republic from forces that would undermine our most sacred democratic institution. I urge my colleagues to pass the SAVE America Act.
