El presidente Lyndon Johnson propuso la legislaci\u00f3n pocos d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la marcha por los derechos civiles de Selma a Montgomery, Alabama, durante la cual el difunto representante John Lewis fue golpeado salvajemente por agentes de la ley mientras cruzaba el puente Edmund Pettus en lo que se conocer\u00eda como el \u201cDomingo Sangriento\u201d. .\u201d <i>La Ley del Derecho al Voto<\/i> aprobada por ambas c\u00e1maras del Congreso y promulgada por el presidente Johnson el 6 de agosto de 1965.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cComo reconoci\u00f3 John Lewis, la promesa de Estados Unidos nunca se cumplir\u00e1 hasta que todos y cada uno de los estadounidenses tengan acceso garantizado e igualitario a las urnas\u201d, <b>dijo el senador Merkley.<\/b> \u201cLas elecciones estadounidenses deben ganarse o perderse convenciendo a los votantes, no neg\u00e1ndoles a algunos de ellos el derecho a votar. Entonces, en este aniversario de la hist\u00f3rica Ley de Derechos Electorales, espero que todos los dem\u00f3cratas y republicanos que recientemente elogiaron la vida de liderazgo y hero\u00edsmo del congresista Lewis se comprometan a restaurar y expandir por completo la Ley de Derechos Electorales. Todos los estadounidenses deben poder participar plenamente en nuestra democracia\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;El aniversario de hoy es un momento para recordar a todos los grandes estadounidenses, como mi difunto amigo John Lewis y tantos otros, que lucharon hace 55 a\u00f1os por su derecho al voto y contin\u00faan luchando hasta el d\u00eda de hoy&quot;. <b>dijo el senador Wyden.<\/b>&nbsp;\u201cReconocer este aniversario es otra oportunidad para volver a dedicarnos al arduo trabajo de poner las palabras en acci\u00f3n y continuar esa lucha contra todas las fuerzas que a\u00fan intentan suprimir el derecho al voto de los estadounidenses de manera segura\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Desde 2013, muchos estados han aprobado leyes electorales discriminatorias que han dificultado que las personas de color y de bajos ingresos voten en las elecciones. Cerca de 1200 lugares de votaci\u00f3n han cerrado desde la decisi\u00f3n de la Corte Suprema de 2013 en <i>Condado de Shelby v. Titular<\/i>. El pa\u00eds est\u00e1 presenciando una propagaci\u00f3n de leyes de supresi\u00f3n de votantes que se extienden por todo el pa\u00eds. Desde las leyes de identificaci\u00f3n de votantes hasta las purgas de listas de votantes, los funcionarios electos dificultan que los estadounidenses voten. Esta Resoluci\u00f3n afirma el compromiso del Senado de modernizar y fortalecer la Ley a trav\u00e9s de m\u00e1s esfuerzos legislativos.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s del Senador Merkley y el Senador Wyden, la resoluci\u00f3n fue copatrocinada por los Senadores Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tom Carper (D-DE) , Doug Jones (D-AL), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Bob Men\u00e9ndez (D-NJ), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Bob Casey, Jr. (D-PA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Tina Smith (D-MN ), Mark Warner (D-VA), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Cory Booker (D-NJ) y Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).<\/p>\n<p>Se puede encontrar una copia de la Resoluci\u00f3n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markey.senate.gov\/download\/voting-rights-act-55-resolution\">aqu\u00ed.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden today introduced a Senate Resolution to recognize, commemorate, and celebrate the 55th anniversary of the enactment of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.
