Ahead of the midterms, Conservatives are pushing hard for the passage of the SAVE Act in a bid to secure our elections. Though Democrats have blocked the legislation in the Senate thus far, some are calling on Republicans in the upper chamber to end the “zombie filibuster’ to force the legislation through.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
From the Daily Signal:
Conservatives are calling on Senate Republicans to end the “zombie filibuster” to overcome Democrat opposition to the SAVE America Act, legislation that would mandate voter ID and proof of citizenship.
President Donald Trump threw his full support behind the bill in recent days, arguing that America’s elections are “rigged, stolen, and a laughingstock.”
“The SAVE [America] Act is very important,” Trump told reporters Friday. “Everybody wants it. Even with Democrats, it’s polling at 82%. With Republicans, it polls at 99%, so we’re going to be trying very hard.”
Though the bill has passed multiple times in the House, Democrats in the narrowly divided Senate have kept it from passing. In a bid to force the passage of the bill, however, Representative Chip Roy and Senator Mike Lee, the bill’s sponsors, have been calling on Senate Majority Leader Thune to revive the talking filibuster.
What is the talking filibuster? According to the Daily Signal, it would “would require senators to hold the floor and debate rather than simply invoking a procedural 60-vote threshold.” According to Senator Lee, a true talking filibuster protects “each Senator’s right to debate,” while the current “zombie filibuster” grants all the benefits of a filibuster to Senators without forcing them to speak.
Meanwhile, Americans around the nation broadly support the voter ID requirements that the SAVE Act would cement in place. According to CNN, 83% of Americans are in favor of the move. It’s no surprise that Americans support stronger election security, as recent revelations have exposed serious fraud in significant elections.
As our leaders continue to navigate a divided House and Senate, let’s pray for the passage of the SAVE Act!

Dear Father,
Please give Your wisdom and Your courage to members of the U. S. Senate, both Democrat and Republican, so that they will do what You desire and what the American people support – by large majorities. Intervene in the effort to pass the Save Act and cause it to pass. Not only that, but cause our elections to be fair and just. We need just legislation, but more than that, we need You. Please cause only those persons who support what You support to be elected to office. May those who oppose You be changed and saved, or removed from office and every place of influence. Remove their funding also. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
Lord, move in the hearts and minds of all the legislators that this bill is good and should pass. Turn the necks of those who hearts are seared, whose minds won’t be swayed. Blow a fresh wind of patriotism for this Republic. Turn their hearts back to God. If they won’t budge, Father please budge them out of their seats. Thank You. Amen.
