Conduct a Voter Registration Drive
One of the most important things we can do to affect change is register voters. ACT For America has been able to pass bills on both the federal and state levels because of our relationships with elected officials. To continue our work, we need to continue electing national security minded representatives, who care about our issues. The fact of the matter is that voters who want open borders and chain migration will be at the polls. We must ensure that we turn out more voters, who want a secure border and to defend the Constitution.
