Gosar Votes to Ban Illegals from Voting in Elections
This week, Representative Paul Gosar voted in favor of legislation that would fund the federal government and includes the SAVE Act. This act requires states to obtain documentary proof of United States citizenship when registering an individual to vote in a federal election.
"Voters are overwhelmingly concerned about the integrity of elections. Only legal voters have the right to vote in America," said Gosar. He added that "states across the country are facing the daunting reality that illegal immigrants are showing up on their voting rolls." According to Gosar, the SAVE Act aims to restore integrity by ensuring only American citizens can vote.
Gosar noted his general opposition to continuing resolutions for government funding without cuts but supported this one due to its inclusion of the SAVE Act. "Unfortunately, a handful of my Republican colleagues voted against the measure causing it to fail by the slimmest of margins," he stated.
Another Trump Assassination Attempt, Democrats Blame Trump
While on a golf course in Florida, another assassination attempt was made on former President Donald Trump earlier this week. This marks the second such incident within two months. The first occurred on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Department of Homeland Security informed Congress that there are at least five teams targeting Trump. Some Democrats blamed Trump for these attempts. Hillary Clinton stated that Donald Trump “is a danger to our country and the world.” NBC reporter Lester Holt attributed the attempt to Trump's efforts regarding immigration and border security.
Sickening: New Poll Reveals One in Four Democrats Want Trump Dead
A poll released this week revealed that 28 percent of Democrats believe America would be better off if President Trump had been assassinated. "I disagree with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on most things, but I would never wish harm on either of them," said Gosar.
Biden-Harris Spokesperson: Veterans Can Go to Hell
Comments made by Biden-Harris National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby referred dismissively to veterans' concerns about Afghanistan withdrawal. Kirby indicated there was “no use in responding” to certain veterans' concerns.
Gosar called Kirby's remarks disgraceful and demanded an apology from President Biden and Vice President Harris for what he termed a putrid comment.
Gosar to Kamala: Wrong! There Are Active-Duty Troops in Combat Zones
Gosar sent a letter challenging Vice President Harris’s claim that no U.S. military members are currently active in combat zones worldwide. He cited troops stationed in Iraq and Syria as evidence contradicting her statement.
Kamala’s latest statement is particularly concerning given recent deployments from Arizona's National Guard resulting in casualties from drone strikes.
Gosar Votes to Protect Women Against Violent Acts Committed by Illegals
Gosar supported H.R. 7909, which ensures non-citizens convicted or admitting guilt for serious crimes like sex offenses or domestic violence are deemed inadmissible and deportable.
He emphasized that this legislation aims at protecting women and children by preventing dangerous individuals from entering or remaining in the U.S., criticizing those who opposed it.
Gosar Awarded Guardian of Small Business
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) awarded Gosar with its Guardian of Small Business Award for his consistent support for small businesses on key issues identified by business owners.
