Call or email: Senator Terry Johnson, 614-466-8082, johnson@ohiosenate.gov Rep. Jean Schmidt, 614-466-8134, rep62@ohiohouse.gov Rep. Adam Bird, 614-644-6034, rep63@ohiohouse.gov Tell them to . . .

Oppose Ohio version of SAVE Act – SB 153, which is similar to the federal SAVE Act that just passed in the U.S. House (but awaits debate in the Senate), which requires proof of citizenship to register or re-register to vote.
