DAVE BOSSIE: Senate Republicans Must Stand Tall And Pass SAVE America Act

It’s welcome news that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed one of President Donald Trump’s top legislative priorities, Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy’s SAVE America Act.

This commonsense legislation makes long overdue reforms to our broken election system that enjoy historic levels of support from Americans of both political parties and all backgrounds.
