First, THANK YOU to everyone who contacted the PA House Judiciary Committee to oppose HB 300. As you may know, this bill, The(Un)Fairness Act, passed the Committee on a party-line vote. Your Humble Author will post about this later. Late, but she does what she can.
WoLF is Returning to DC
Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) will be lobbying Members of Congress (MoC) in our nation’s capital from May 18-21, 2026. We need your help scheduling meetings with PA Members of Congress. PLEASE contact Senators Fetterman and McCormick and your US House rep to request meetings with them during this time. Especially if you are not going to DC, we need you to call as a constituent to request a meeting. The more MoC hear from us, the more likely they are to schedule meetings. The entire US House is up for reelection this year, so that’s additional encouragement. Here is a sample script:
“Rep/Sen, My name is XX and I am your constituent in District YY (or give your address.) Some of your constituents will be in DC from May 18-21, 2026. We would like to meet with you to discuss women’s rights in this election year. (If applicable) We thank you for your votes supporting women’s rights on bill numbers ZZZ. We would like to further discuss women’s rights. Thank you.”
I suggest NOT saying you’re a sex-realist or affiliated with WoLF or any other organization. You are a concerned constituent for women’s rights in this election year for the House. However, do tell them that 3-5 constituents will be in DC to meet them as a group. Meetings with legislative aides are just as good as with the MoC.
Even if you know your US rep (and Senator Fetterman) are completely riding the trans train, contact them anyway. Our elected officials need to listen to their constituents or we will vote them out. Remind your US rep that s/he is up for reelection this year.
Please keep calling and using your MoC’s Contact Me website until you receive a reply. Dear Readers who get a meeting scheduled (YAY!!) can contact PA4SBR via Substack with the date and time. Any time between May 18-21 is fine.
Tell Senators McCormick and Fetterman to OPPOSE the “SAVE Act”
As some Dear Readers may know, the US Senate will vote on the “SAVE Act” (S.1383) this Wednesday, March 18, 2026. Your Humble Author urges you to contact our senators to OPPOSE this bill.
This is a sex-based rights issue because the SAVE Act targets married women. Repealing the Nineteenth Amendment is one of the goals listed in Project 2025. The “SAVE Act” is the first step.
If any eligible US voter wants to register for the first time, update their address, or change anything else about their registration, they must produce specific official documents proving that they are a US citizen. This narrow list of documents includes a valid (not expired) US passport or a certified copy of their birth certificate, all of which must match the voter’s legal name.
Approximately 69 million married American women voters have taken their spouses’ names. Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT legally required. It is only a custom. Married women (and men) who want to take their spouses’ names do NOT need to legally change their names; they can just begin using their spouses’ names. Many divorced women continue to use their spouses’ names even after their divorces are finalized. Married and divorced women, then, will not have birth certificates that match their married names, so they will be unable to vote or even register to vote. Official documents showing that a woman legally changed her name to match her original birth certificate are NOT acceptable for voting. So there!
If the SAVE Act passes, then the 69 million married American women who want to exercise our Constitutional right to vote will need to obtain the documents that are on that very narrow list. Married or not, men will not need to prove their citizenship to vote. ONLY MARRIED WOMEN will. This makes the SAVE Act a sex-based rights issue. It disenfranchises women specifically.
Moreover, passports and birth certificates cost time and money to procure. Not everybody has the money to get them; in fact, most Americans have never even applied for a passport let alone possess a valid one. Again, this is another obstacle to low-income married women to exercising our Constitutional right to vote.
Please contact Senators Fetterman and McCormick at the links above. Senator Fetterman has already changed his position in favor of the SAVE Act to opposing it after constituent feedback. We need to reinforce that feedback.
As always, thank you for all you do for women’s sex-based rights!
