CALL TO ACTION
Call Your Elected Officials Today: Your Voice Matters
Calling Congress can feel like shouting into the void, but it matters—more than you think.
No matter the legislator’s political stance, calling works!
If you agree with their stance, make sure your representative hears from you! They rely on call records and personal stories from constituents to strengthen their arguments when speaking with colleagues.
If you’re unsure of their stance or disagree with it, calling is a powerful way to influence them. Representatives receive regular reports on constituent calls, which highlight the intensity of public opinion on specific issues.
Silence implies approval—don’t let it. Pick up the phone, share your concerns, and remind Congress who they work for: us! Together, We Stand United for a better future. Call now!

ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE
3/29/2025 - Stop the Attacks on the Federal Court System - Oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act
The House expects to vote on the No Rogue Rulings Act on Wednesday, April 2nd. Demand your representatives vote against this authoritarian attempt to rewrite our federal judicial system and block the necessary system of checks and balances.
Federal judges across the country have been consistently ruling against the administration’s unlawful actions, leading to the administration demanding the impeachment of judges who rule against them. The No Rogue Rulings Act (H.R. 1526) would bar district court judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, the exact type of ruling that has blocked many of the administration’s plans to date.
Demand your representatives vote against this authoritarian attempt to rewrite our federal judicial system and block the necessary system of checks and balances.

3/28/2025 - Oppose the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) - A Voter Suppression Bill - House Vote NEXT WEEK
The House is scheduled to vote on H.R. 22 during the week of March 31st.
This extreme anti-voter Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22/S.128) would hinder millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to register.
Millions of Americans don’t have easy access to these documents.
More than 21.3 million Americans lack immediate access to documentary proof of citizenship.
More than 140 million Americans do not have a passport, and elderly Americans are one of the demographic groups least likely to have one.
69 million women who have taken their spouse’s last name do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name.
Similarly, transgender people who change their name to reflect their gender identity may be denied new passports and become ineligible to register.
Disabled people are already much more likely to encounter a difficulty while voting compared to a nondisabled voter; more stringent requirements will just make this worse.
Citizens of color are three times more likely than white citizens to lack documents such as birth certificates, passports, naturalization certificates, or certificates of citizenship.
An in-person registration requirement would prevent military members serving abroad from easily registering to vote.
Despite unfounded claims to the contrary, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The SAVE Act is designed to block eligible people from voting, not to protect elections. Demand your representatives oppose the SAVE Act and protect voting rights for all.

THE RULE OF LAW AND CHECKS & BALANCES EXPLAINED
At We Stand United, our commitment to upholding the rule of law and preserving our system of checks and balances reflects our dedication to the foundational principles that ensure justice, accountability, and the proper functioning of our democracy.
What is the Rule of Law?
The rule of law means everyone must follow the same rules—no matter who they are. This includes individuals, institutions, and even the government. The laws must be:
Clear and easy to understand
Fairly applied to everyone
Decided by courts that are independent and fair
By adhering to the rule of law, we ensure fairness, protect individual rights, and maintain order within society.
What Are Checks and Balances?
Our government is divided into three parts, or "branches," so that no one group can have too much power. This system is called checks and balances. Each branch has different responsibilities and can limit the power of the others:
Congress (Legislative) – Makes laws
President (Executive) – Enforces laws
Courts (Judicial) – Interprets laws and decides if they follow the Constitution
For example, Congress can pass a law, but the President can veto it. Then, the courts can decide if the law is fair. This balance of power makes sure no one can make unfair rules or take control.
Why Does This Matter?
When we follow the rule of law and use checks and balances, we make sure our democracy is fair, strong, and protects everyone’s rights. It keeps power in the hands of the people, prevents corruption, and helps our country run smoothly.
