Speech #1090172966

This bill would disenfranchise the elderly. people with disabilities. and minorities. The costs of obtaining the documents needed to prove you are citizen are high. A birth certificate usually costs $1- $15. and according to the State Department only 27 percent of eligible Americans have passports. which cost $97. Naturalization papers. if they need to be replaced. cost $210. While supporters of H.R. 4844 promise to help some citizens who dont have money to pay for these documents. we cannot bank on the promise from the Republican majority who have refused to honor their commitment to the Help America Vote Act.
