Just Curious. Do You hear the plan?

"Trump-backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE America Act, seeks to address the president's longstanding demands to "fix" U.S. elections that he says are "rigged" and "stolen," despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud. I read this, just published in an op ed on wed Feb 10th, "( Barajas, 2026)
Ok , powers- that- be are moving beyond the signature as a value ladder to be snatched. I see strange movings and wonder if our community is up for the challenge. Our youth have been denied one the most ancient representations of education.
For 30 years, handwriting, cursive script and the related skills owned by those who scribe or write for learning and retention have taken back seat to AI and computing. A whole generation are now ignorant to cursive script, can not create, not read nor understand it. What they put on paper in schools now is frightening. They seem not to feel the need that has driven so many before them... to maintain that level of intellectual self knowledge. I hear the drumbeat!!!
Rumblings now hint at voter registration interruption and consequent denial. Three states in 2024 elections denied thousands their voting rights because they could NOT create a cursive signature. Look at how we started 2025. Now, I understand that it is a local choice to determine if a signature must be cursive. Print and/or the general MARK have been accepted in many locations.
This year, 2026 credentialing is the buzz. Passports and birth certification seem like easy preps, except that a great many have changed names, altered identifications or lost track of birth certificates. As for the passport, many have never owned or maintained possession of a passport. Now that government has been slashed, some regular services take twice as long as years gone bye. What is setting up for a last minute rush for credentialing could be the undoing of half the USA voters. An additional drain for our dollars.
I see options. Which one will you support? Please respond your thoughts on this thread.
A. Start a campaign to advise your state and federal representatives to veto changes to voter credentialing. It is not a broken system. Why must we now pay for additional paperwork to prove that we belong here and to assert our citizenship rights?
B. Start now to encourage immediate family and community members to obtain needed paperwork by June. A random date for sure, but if buracracy binds occur they may be completely backed up by summers end.
As for me, my goal is for both and more. Here is campaign #1. This year our goal is to teach 1000+ young people to read and write in cursive thereby adding 1000+ or more individuals who own their cursive signature. That is a function of our "Write Cursive Now!" Events. Public schools in less than 25 states will teach kids in K- 5 but the 6th- 12th graders still get ignored. Watch for Campaign #2 - coming in two weeks or less.
We have monthly 2- hr. sessions online for "Write Cursive Now!" We can also bring the course to your locations. For info & registration text "CURSIVE" to 404-295-4363. Please share the word that registration is open. Invite you friends, family and associates to join our community.
