- Transcript Hi, this is Congressman Chip Roy. I'm calling to invite you to join my telephone town hall event taking place in just a few moments. Please just stay on the line and you will be automatically connected. If you have any questions after the event or if I can assist you in any way, please call my office at 210-821-5024 to be added to our do not call list, please press nine now. Thank you. Please hold while we connect you to your access live event. This access live event is currently in progress. Please note this call may be monitored, recorded, or rebroadcast. If you would like to ask a question during today's event, press star three on your telephone keypad at any time. Sure that only citizens can vote by requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. Now, as a good texan, you might be asking, well, wait, why is that the business of the federal government? Good question. Is a general rule. I don't think most things are. But in this case, when you're talking about the election of members of Congress, the Senate, or the presidency, the constitution contemplates very directly that Congress has a role. In addition, we have a role, obviously, with respect to naturalization and immigration. So this legislation that we introduced would get rid of the requirements under federal law that courts have applied. They're not really requirements, but the application of federal law to prohibit states from being able to check citizenship, it would get rid of that. Currently, the way the law has been applied, if a state wants to require that we, you know, ensure that only a citizen registers to vote, that state can't do it. That's caused Arizona, for example, to have two different systems, one for state and local, one for federal. Our bill gets rid of that. Our bill also then goes a step further and requires that states take that step to ensure that we only have citizens voting. That legislation passed. All Republicans supported it, and five democrats joined with us in July. Big deal. We got it passed. Obviously, it's dead right now over in the Senate, and Chuck Schumer is not moving it. So knowing that we've got to move a government funding bill in September, we believe that we should attach that save act to ensure citizen voting to the funding bill that moves in September, what we would call a continuing resolution.

Just last week, 8,278 people got Nomorobo protection!
Fantastic!! All we need now is a way to add phone numbers ourselves. There still are the occasional ones that get through, and if there was a way for us to add them you would be perfect!!!

This is the best thing to happen to phone communications. One ring and they're gone. Some still get through but only abut 10%. I'd say that is good work. You guys are the greatest. We can now eat dinner without trying to tolerate telemarketers - even non-profits.Thanks!

It appeared to be working well when I first signed up months ago. However, within the last 2 months or so it doesn't appear to be working at all. I got numerous political calls just before the election,with none of that nonsense bring blocked, and am still getting calls from some stupid Diane soliciting rug cleaning for which I cannot opt out. What happened to my robocall?
— Sharon K, Nov 29th, 11:14am
I love Nomorobo!!
— Barbara, Nov 29th, 11:15am
The best blocking service available. Hope our cell phone carrier will get with the program. Thanks for your service.
— Terry, Nov 29th, 12:18pm
I wish it would intercept more prior to the first ring.
— Anonymous, Nov 29th, 1:17pm
It is fantastic. We wait for a second ring before we move to pick up the phone. Too bad it does not work with political phone calls.

It's a lot more pleasant being home with nomorobo. We still like hearing the phone stop its ringing after one ring. The one ring tells us we 'caught' another unwanted caller in the act!
