Tell John Thune a “Vote” is Not Enough
SenateConservatives.com ^ | MAR 02, 2026 | NA

Posted on 03/02/2026 2:46:43 PM PST by SharpRightTurn

It’s time to employ the “nuclear option” on John Thune’s inbox.

Last week, the Senate Republican Leader announced that he would NOT force Democrats to conduct a Talking Filibuster on the SAVE America Act.

This means Thune will NOT try to pass election integrity legislation this year.

Instead, he plans to debate the SAVE America Act under a rigged process that requires 60 votes, knowing he does not have them. This is not fighting. It’s gaslighting. It’s “failure theater.”

Thune wants to create the illusion of Republicans all supporting voter ID without any chance of it actually passing.

This is unacceptable. Americans don’t want a show vote. We don’t want failure theater. We want fair, honest elections!

The House of Representatives passed election integrity. President Trump has endorsed using the Talking Filibuster strategy to pass it through the Senate. 85% of the country supports voter ID! And the Senate has literally nothing better to do.

Last week, they hosted a Dog Parade, for goodness’ sake!

It’s time for senators to earn their paychecks. It’s time for John Thune to stop listening to the Beltway insiders and actually fight!

And it’s time for conservatives to let him know that. If conservatives want Senate Republicans to fight on Voter ID, we have to fight for it first!

Take Action

Click HERE to message Leader Thune, urging him to call up the Save America Act and force Democrats to debate it. No fake votes. No napping filibusters. Make the Left hold the Senate floor 24/7 and explain to the American people why they support illegal immigrant voter fraud!

You can also call Senator Thune’s DC office at (202) 224-2321 to leave him a voice message. You can simply say, “Senator Thune, I’m calling to urge you to use a real talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act.”

Thank you for being part of our team and for doing so much to fight for America’s future.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Thune has time for a Dog Parade, but not enough time to push through the Senate the Save America Act to ensure only those people who are entitled to vote can cast a ballot. Trump has pushed this type of legislation, but apparently Thune cannot be bothered with it. Is Thune taking orders from Mitch McConnell?

The upper midwest churns out Larry Craig toe-tappers on an industrial scale. Thune is but one.

They’re everywhere, unless you consider KY, TN, and SC to be upper midwest ;-)

just like supreme court picks and other exceptions, declarations of war should not be subject to filibuster.

Where are the SD voters on this? SD might as well be NY, CA, MA...etc.

This is the “gentlemanly loser” gaslighting the Republican establishment has utilized for the past 35 years, again in play. If Thune wanted it to happen, he could make it happen. He wants it to fail, while pretending to want it to pass.

It takes about 30 seconds to send a message to Thume using the link in the article.

I'd add NC to that list. Thinking of Thom Tillis, the master toe-tapper.

That POS was the dog show organizer. Thune lets lame duck traitors make a mockery of the Senate. Another pile of human garbage.

Prove me wrong.

Yes, I think that’s the bottom line.

Thune is sabotaging the SAVE America Act.

He wants to throw the Election, which means he wants Trump to be impeached.

The GOP wants to keep the rigged elections. Ask yourself why they would if they aren’t benefitting from them. Wait ... maybe ....?
