I want you to know that ever since we've placed the Asheville Tea Party event on the calendar for Hendersonville on July 17, I have been as excited about this event as any event that I've attended since I announced my candidacy for the United States Senate.  This is in large part because tea party people are my people, as we share the passions for so many issues in reducing the size of the government, ensuring that the federal government stays within its enumerated constitutional powers, and expanding freedom for all Americans by working to get the bureaucracy out of the way and  eliminating governmental agencies that are not constitutionally mandated.   Because of the work that I do in one of my day jobs, that is continuing to serve as a member of North Carolina State Bar, from time to time, although this is rare, I can get called into court on very short notice and have very little options other than to attend. Unfortunately, we found out just yesterday that this has happened and now conflicts with the event that I would much rather attend, that is the Asheville Tea Party in Hendersonville, as the court event in Mecklenburg County is scheduled to begin in the early afternoon of the same day.   Since we learned of this conflict yesterday, we have made every effort to try and get the matter continued, but I have not been able to do so, as the court date has a statutory deadline involved.   I'm particularly disappointed and personally frustrated, as we had July 17 circled in red, and I looked forward to spending time with like-minded patriots, to discuss issues facing our state and country and to take as many questions as folks wanted to ask.    Our mutual friend, Guy Smith, who serves as our campaign's operations director, tells me that you also sent out a number of notices or RSVPs about the event, and I am particularly regretful for the conflict because of this.   If you would kindly still consider having me, I will be honored to try and reschedule to the next nearest date that is convenient for you. Of course we will make your group our top priority.    Again, please accept my profound apologies for this conflict and with highest regards, I hope to see you all very soon.   God bless, Don Brown

Educate. Advocate. Mitigate. Activate! July 17, 2025 Bill Bruch Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL) filed a formal petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) urging requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (DPOC), to register to vote in federal elections (such as a birth certificate, real ID, or passport). The petition argues that the current "honor system," where applicants simply attest to their citizenship under penalty of perjury, is insufficient to prevent non-citizen voting. This commonsense requirement would strengthen election integrity by ensuring that only U.S. citizens can vote in U.S. elections. AFL is giving the EAC a reason to act. Federal law allows any member of the public to file a “petition for rulemaking” with a federal agency, requesting it to adopt a new regulation or rule. The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) frequently called the “Motor Voter Law,” created a single federal form that ALL STATES ARE REQUIRED to accept and use for voter registration for federal elections. The EAC is responsible for maintaining and, as necessary, amending this form. Despite this, it only requires applicants to check a box affirming they are U.S. citizens. The form does NOT require any verification that applicants are telling the truth, other than the applicant’s signature attesting that the information they have provided is true. The form does nothing to prevent criminal dishonesty. It relies on the “honor system,” trusting that all illegal alien applicants attempting to register to vote — who are already committing a crime — will somehow choose to be honest when deciding which box to check on the voter registration form. Several states have taken measures to require DPOC to register to vote , but various legal challenges have blocked these laws from taking full effect. Voting disparities in U.S. elections is not a hypothetical issue. In Pennsylvania, a 2018 lawsuit revealed over 100,000 aliens registered to vote , and one city official found that at least 90 aliens had actually cast ballots in a Philadelphia election. In 2019, Texas found nearly 100,000 possible foreigners on their voter rolls, of which around 58,000 that potentially voted in previous elections. Since 2021, Texas has removed over 6,500 potential foreign citizens from its voter rolls. Of those 6,500 foreign citizens, at least 1,930 actually voted. Additionally, survey data suggests that a significant proportion of undocumented immigrants may be illegally registered to vote. Currently, Arizona has over 40,000 voters who have not provided DPOC registered to vote in federal elections — nearly four times the margin of victory listed in the official results of the 2020 presidential election in that state. That number may be very low as recently it was reported an additional 120K registered voters lacked proof of citizenship . AZ’s law has been implemented for state and local elections, but not federal elections . AZ is required to allow individuals to register to vote in federal elections without providing DPOC simply because the federal form does not require it. As a result, AZ’s voter rolls include voters who are fully registered to vote in both state and federal elections (those who have provided DPOC), and voters who can only vote in federal elections (those who have not provided DPOC). On March 25, 2025, President Trump issued EO 14248 , “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” requiring, among other things, that the EAC implement a DPOC requirement on the federal form. Following this directive, courts in D.C., and Massachusetts temporarily halted implementation of that portion of the order, questioning whether the President has the authority to order the EAC to take action . However, even those courts acknowledged that the EAC remains free to take action on its own to impose a DPOC requirement. A DPOC requirement is a commonsense measure to assess a voter’s eligibility. If the EAC does not act on a petition for rulemaking, federal law allows the party that submitted the petition to sue, forcing the agency to act! “AFL will be watching closely to ensure the EAC takes action expeditiously, we will not stand by while our elections are undermined by loopholes and an ‘honor system’ that invites fraud. The right to vote is the sacred privilege of American citizens—period. We are demanding that the EAC fulfill its duty to the American people by requiring real, documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. Anything less is an open invitation for illegal voting and a betrayal of our democracy. AFL is fully committed to using every legal tool available to ensure that only citizens decide America’s future. We will not rest until election integrity is restored and the voice of every lawful voter is protected,” said Senior AFL Counsel James Rogers. “The right to choose our government—that is, to vote and to have our votes counted—is a fundamental right of American citizens and a principle that lies at the very foundation of our democratic republic. The commonsense requirement that the federal form provide State election officials with the tools needed to verify voter eligibility, including adequate proof of citizenship, will help to protect that right by preventing lawful votes from being diluted through fraud,” said Ryan Giannetti, AFL Counsel.

WAGOP Chairman and State Representative Jim Walsh’s Election Integrity Citizens Initiative to the 2026 Legislature - IL26-126 : AN ACT Relating to requiring verification of citizenship for voter registration, addresses these issues. Under the GOP-led measure , there are multiple ways voters would be allowed to prove their citizenship to register to vote, such as: show their enhanced driver’s license or enhanced identicard, a birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, a U.S. Department of State consular report of birth abroad, or a passport, at a county auditor’s election office when they first register to vote. “On the current WA voter registration form , a person marks a box indicating they are a citizen. This initiative says you just can’t check a box. This does not touch mail-in voting in any way. It does not touch the transaction of voting. WA State has probably the least secure voting system in the US. Besides being a 100% mail-in voting state, we have ‘automatic’ voter registration. We essentially have no safeguards in registering to vote, no confirmation that a person registering is, in fact, a citizen, other than an attestation. It’s not just motor voter that's an issue; you’re automatically registered to vote when you apply for any state government benefits (SNAP, Medicaid, etc.), and there’s no real confirmation that the person registered to vote is a citizen.” Wash said . The initiative is now out for petition signatures and could become law next. To be certified, the petitions must contain the signatures of at least 308,911 registered voters and be submitted by Jan 2, 2026. Bill Bruch Bill Bruch is the WA State GOP Election Integrity Committee Chairman (5th year), WAGOP Executive Board Member (5th Year), Skagit County GOP Chairman (9th year), Citizen Journalist, Blogger, Business Owner, 2020 WA State House Representative Candidate , Former Council Member, and WA State 2016 and 2024 RNC National Convention Delegate.

The Daily Signal https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/07/01/senate-passes-big-beautiful-bill-in-tie-breaking-vote/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-3-republicans-all-democrats-vote-against-one-big-beautiful-bill&_bhlid=91466115efe1c0385a5d0aa6227a885a60f7f303 After weeks of negotiations, the Senate has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act—a ten-year fiscal package which would serve as the vehicle for fulfilling President Donald Trump’s campaign promises on tax cuts and border security. Despite intra-party debates on overall deficit levels, healthcare reform and how to undo President Joe Biden’s environmental policies, Republicans were ultimately able to find a consensus under the leadership of newly-minted Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. The bill, which has passed by a margin of 51-50 in the Senate with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, will now go to the House of Representatives, which passed an initial version by a one-vote margin in May. Vance had to break the tie after three Republican senators voted no on the measure: Sens. Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins. From the beginning, Senate Republicans had a herculean task after receiving the 1,000-page mega-bill that was narrowly passed by the House. Trump largely stayed out of specific debates within the party but urged the bill’s passage in order to provide funding for key priorities, such as border security and defense, as well to prevent an automatic tax increase at the end of the year when his 2017 tax cuts expire. Republicans remained broadly united on those main priorities but disagreed on how exactly to shape the colossal legislation. Of course, Republicans never expected any help from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., opposed the package at every turn, calling it a “Big Ugly Betrayal” and characterizing it as an attack on the poor to give the wealthy tax cuts. Despite being locked out of the process, Schumer stood by his members as they appealed provisions before Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough (essentially the chamber’s rules referee), who in turn advised that many provisions would be subject to a 60-vote threshold. MacDonough did so under the Byrd Rule, a Senate rule meant to block provisions in 10-year budget packages that are more policy-oriented than budgetary. The reforms she rejected included preventing illegal immigrants from accessing Medicaid benefits and stopping taxpayer funds from going to transgender surgeries. Republicans had to amend and resubmit several provisions to MacDonough in order to regain lost ground on benefits reforms and other cost-saving items. The House bill contained controversial provisions such as quadrupling to $40,000 the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions —a federal tax break popular among blue state Republicans, but universally unpopular among Senate Republicans. Senate Republicans tweaked that provision by keeping its fundamental features, but making the cap revert to $10,000 after 2029. Additionally, the Senate GOP had four budget hawks who urged more fiscal restraint in the bill: Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida, and Rand Paul of Kentucky.  The first three urged more aggressive spending cuts, while Paul focused on asking that the Senate remove the provision to raise the debt limit, arguing for a separate bill to address the matter. A number of Republican senators—particularly Josh Hawley of Missouri, Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Jim Justice of West Virginia—urged restraint on certain Medicaid reforms, such as lowering the provider tax, a tool states use to obtain extra federal health care funding. Leadership attempted to thread the needle and appeal to both fiscal hawks and Medicaid defenders, creating a relief fund for rural hospitals to ease fears over the restructuring of the health care system. Early on, the Senate also decided to make more tax cuts permanent in the bill, largely at the urging of tax cut advocates, such as Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont. Trump mostly stayed out of small policy debates but urged the bill’s passage on the social media platform Truth Social, saying, “I HATE ‘GREEN TAX CREDITS’ IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL. They are largely a giant SCAM.” All the while, the House watched the debates in the Senate carefully. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a fiscal hawk in the House Freedom Caucus, claimed that the Senate was focused on “just the tax-cuts side.” “They’re backing away from the spending cuts, the spending restraint. They’re backing away from the reforms that we think makes the math work,” he said in a House floor speech Friday. SALT tax break advocates also closely monitored the process, making frequent threats to kill the bill in the House if the Senate abandoned deals made in the original bill. On Friday, Trump expressed confidence that Republicans would pass the bill. “Every Republican senator is committed,” Trump said. “You could have a couple of grandstanders, in all fairness.” The bill passed its first test Saturday night, when Senate leadership, as well as Vice President JD Vance, were able to persuade late holdouts Scott, Murkowski, Johnson, and Lee, as well as Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., to vote on a motion to proceed. Paul and Tillis, however, voted against allowing the bill to come to the floor. Trump responded by threatening to support a primary challenger against Tillis. The next day, Tillis announced that he would not seek reelection in 2026. Tuesday’s vote came after an excruciatingly long period of floor deliberation, as Schumer used an obscure Senate rule to require the reading of the entire bill on the floor before debate began . After the reading of the bill, the Senate considered dozens of amendments. Notably, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., introduced an amendment which struck a provision that would discourage state regulation of artificial intelligence. This provision, which was controversial in both the House and Senate, was struck by a 99-1 vote, with only Tillis voting in favor of keeping it. The “vote-a-rama,” as this budget debate is colloquially known, stretched on from Monday morning into Tuesday afternoon as Senate leadership huddled with potential holdouts—possibly due to last-minute hesitation on whether Republicans had the votes to pass the bill.
