The Ruth Report

Dear Friend & Supporter,

More than 600 registered Michiganvoters, verified as non-U.S. citizens

by federal records, were notified

this month that they must withdraw

from the voter rolls.

Dozens of individuals have alreadyresponded, asking to be removed

from the rolls.

The law is clear. Only U.S. citizensmay be registered to vote and vote

on Election Day.

We must take a hard line on election

integrity. For example, we now re-quire voters to attest, when they sign

their ballot applications, that they

meet all qualifications to voteage,

residency and U.S. citizenship.

HELPING OUR VETERANS:

With Veterans Day nearly here, I wanted to take a moment to recognize my teamfor all they are doing to assist Michigans nearly 700,000 veterans. Some of

those efforts include:

A new drivers license for veterans that will be launched next year. It will

include a special VETERAN designation, helping vets get the benefits they

have earned and deserve.

Work with homeless veterans at various Stand Down events across thestate to help them get the ID and documents they need. Were also going to

be providing vet benefit information in some of our branch offices.

A new veterans license plate, to debut next year, that will raise money direct-

ly for vets and their families.

Support for laws that help vets return to the workforce more easily.

Please, if you see a veteran, take a moment to thank them for their service and

sacrifice. With warmest wishes for you and your families,
