Crear barreras innecesarias para ejercer esta libertad est\u00e1 mal. En este momento, una minor\u00eda del Senado est\u00e1 silenciando a los votantes estadounidenses, a pesar de que una mayor\u00eda quiere la protecci\u00f3n de los votantes en la Ley Para el Pueblo. Protecciones que incluyen f\u00e1cil acceso a las urnas, libertad para votar sin importar nuestra raza o geograf\u00eda, para que los pol\u00edticos ganen nuestros votos en lugar de manipularlos mediante gerrymandering y para que nuestros funcionarios electos sean responsables ante nosotros en lugar de ante cualquier donante que pueda llenarse los bolsillos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Sabemos lo que est\u00e1 mal y la Ley Para el Pueblo puede ayudar a solucionarlo al proporcionar est\u00e1ndares nacionales para las elecciones federales. Sin embargo, para que se apruebe cuando el Senado regrese del receso, se debe eliminar el obstruccionismo. El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, siempre ha sido uno de los principales oponentes del obstruccionismo y su mensaje es alto y claro en este momento: para proteger nuestra libertad de votar, el obstruccionismo debe desaparecer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Suficiente es suficiente.
