Washington, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, anunci\u00f3 hoy que viajar\u00e1 con el presidente Joe Biden y la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris a Atlanta, Georgia, para resaltar la importancia y la urgencia de aprobar legislaci\u00f3n sobre el derecho al voto y proteger el sagrado derecho al voto de los estadounidenses.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEste es un momento cr\u00edtico en la historia de nuestra rep\u00fablica democr\u00e1tica. El Senado decidir\u00e1 la pr\u00f3xima semana si salvaguardaremos la libertad de voto de los estadounidenses o permitiremos que se tome el poder en contra de la voluntad del pueblo estadounidense\u201d. dijo Merkley.<\/b> \u201cLa democracia no existe a menos que todos los ciudadanos tengan derecho a votar y que esos votos se cuenten. Hoy, ese derecho est\u00e1 gravemente amenazado para millones de estadounidenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cCuando las barreras para votar est\u00e1n dirigidas a grupos espec\u00edficos de estadounidenses (negros, nativos americanos, votantes j\u00f3venes y estudiantes universitarios), es pura manipulaci\u00f3n partidista y corrompe las elecciones. Est\u00e1 absolutamente mal. Todos merecen la misma oportunidad de emitir sus votos y saber que nuestro voto contar\u00e1. Y ciertamente, los funcionarios partidistas no deber\u00edan descartar los resultados de las elecciones porque no les gusta la elecci\u00f3n de los votantes.<\/p>\n
\u201cEste Congreso tiene la oportunidad, y la responsabilidad, de hacer una poderosa contribuci\u00f3n al legado de gobierno de 'Nosotros, el pueblo' de los Estados Unidos, intensificando y protegiendo los votos y las voces sagradas de los estadounidenses. Debemos garantizar que todos los estadounidenses tengan la libertad de emitir su voto sin intimidaci\u00f3n, obstrucci\u00f3n ni supresi\u00f3n de votantes. El voto de cada estadounidense debe contar. La libertad y el futuro de nuestro pa\u00eds dependen de ello\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Merkley ha sido una voz l\u00edder en el Senado tanto en los derechos de voto como en la reforma de las reglas del Senado para poner fin a la par\u00e1lisis y el estancamiento de los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os y restaurar la deliberaci\u00f3n, el debate y la negociaci\u00f3n. Viajar\u00e1 con el presidente y el vicepresidente para dar un discurso en Atlanta en el que se espera que expongan en\u00e9rgicamente el caso para que el Senado cuestione el abuso de las reglas obstruccionistas para aprobar la Ley de libertad de voto<\/i> y Ley de Avance de los Derechos Electorales de John Lewis<\/i>.<\/p>\n
El l\u00edder de la mayor\u00eda del Senado, Chuck Schumer, ha dicho que el Senado considerar\u00e1 la legislaci\u00f3n sobre derechos de voto, y los cambios en las reglas del Senado, si es necesario, a m\u00e1s tardar el 17 de enero, D\u00eda de Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n
