UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, patrocinador principal del <i>Ley para el Pueblo<\/i>\u2014 emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n hoy despu\u00e9s de que todos los republicanos votaron para bloquear el debate sobre el proyecto de ley en una votaci\u00f3n de procedimiento inicial:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cLas urnas son el coraz\u00f3n palpitante de cualquier democracia saludable, y debemos permanecer unidos para rechazar el c\u00e1ncer de los ataques partidistas contra la libertad de voto de los estadounidenses. Una gran mayor\u00eda de dem\u00f3cratas, republicanos e independientes de todo el pa\u00eds apoyan la <i>Ley para el Pueblo<\/i> porque los estadounidenses de todas las tendencias pol\u00edticas creen en elecciones justas. Pero hoy, los republicanos en el Senado optaron por apoyar a los poderosos y privilegiados sobre la gente. Abandonaron la responsabilidad de defender el derecho y la libertad de voto de todos los estadounidenses. Votaron para permitir que los multimillonarios compraran elecciones. Votaron para permitir que los pol\u00edticos manipularan los distritos electorales, socavando la visi\u00f3n constitucional de representaci\u00f3n igualitaria. En suma, abandonaron la visi\u00f3n de gobierno del, por y para el Pueblo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa votaci\u00f3n de hoy es el comienzo de esta batalla, no el final. Me complace que los 50 dem\u00f3cratas eligieran honrar su juramento de defender la Constituci\u00f3n votando para enviar el <i>Ley para el Pueblo<\/i> a debatir en el Senado. Trabajaremos desde este punto de unidad hacia adelante hasta que defendamos con \u00e9xito los valores fundamentales en juego.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo hay debate m\u00e1s importante para el futuro de nuestro condado. \u00bfSer\u00e1n abordados por el Senado los problemas que afectan a los estadounidenses todos los d\u00edas? \u00bfO el Partido Republicano, en manos de las corporaciones m\u00e1s poderosas, proceder\u00e1 a destruir la capacidad del Senado para abordar estos temas? Est\u00e1n en juego los avances en materia de vivienda, atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, educaci\u00f3n y empleos bien remunerados, que son los fundamentos para familias pr\u00f3speras. Est\u00e1 en juego la capacidad de abordar el futuro de nuestro planeta con el cambio clim\u00e1tico. Est\u00e1 en juego la capacidad de abordar la igualdad para los estadounidenses LGBTQ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSe dice que el presidente Washington se refiri\u00f3 al Senado como un platillo refrigerante. Pero ciertamente no se refiri\u00f3 a ella como una congelaci\u00f3n profunda. De hecho, nuestros fundadores nos advirtieron de los peligros de la obstrucci\u00f3n de la mayor\u00eda calificada. Esa obstrucci\u00f3n es demasiado evidente en este momento.
