Outdated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home. It’s past time for Congress to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, close loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act, and reform the Insurrection Act. bit.ly/4oxXJLN

Antiquated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home to quash protests and order mass arrests in times of war and domestic upheaval.

It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote. Requiring proof of citizenship creates barriers for eligible voters. Tell the Election Assistance Commission you oppose requiring citizens to submit passport, birth certificate, or other citizenship documents to register to vote! Do it here: bit.ly/42EZzkR NOW!
