They won't require you to show a birth certificate!

They won't require you to provide proof of citizenship!

Nope! They will just automatically register you for war!

They know who you are! They know when you were born!

But, if you want to VOTE?...PAPERS PLEASE!!!

The adds against this "save our Retrumplican asses" voter suppression bill almost write themselves.
