The bill now heads to the Senate floor. Although congressional Republicans and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continue to obstruct this bill, the For the People Act remains popular among Republican, Democratic, and independent voters. In fact, key provisions of the bill have already been passed and proven successful in red, blue, and purple states.","featured_image":"","press_type":236,"authors":["{\"site_id\":\"1\",\"post_type\":\"person\",\"post_id\":7855}"],"related_issues":[103,137,167,169,2066,2082],"related_work":false,"location":46},"sidebar":{"helper_enable_sidebar":false,"helper_media_contact":{"heading":"Media Contact","manually_enter_person":false,"person":null,"name":"","role":"","phone":"","email":""},"helper_links_downloads":{"heading":"Links & Downloads","links":null}},"page_layout":[{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"Heute hat der Senatsausschuss f\u00fcr Gesch\u00e4ftsordnung einen historischen Schritt unternommen, indem er den For the People Act (S. 1) er\u00f6rtert hat. Dabei handelt es sich um ein umfassendes Gesetz zum Schutz unserer Wahlfreiheit, das sicherstellt, dass unsere Stimmen geh\u00f6rt werden, indem verhindert wird, dass Milliard\u00e4re unsere Wahlen kaufen, und das es uns erm\u00f6glicht, Politiker zu w\u00e4hlen, die unsere Interessen vertreten, indem sichergestellt wird, dass die Wahlkreisgrenzen von \u00fcberparteilichen Kommissionen und nicht hinter verschlossenen T\u00fcren von amtierenden Politikern gezogen werden. Der Gesetzentwurf geht nun an den Senat. Obwohl die Republikaner im Kongress und der Minderheitsf\u00fchrer Mitch McConnell diesen Gesetzentwurf weiterhin blockieren, ist der For the People Act bei republikanischen, demokratischen und unabh\u00e4ngigen W\u00e4hlern weiterhin beliebt. Tats\u00e4chlich wurden wichtige Bestimmungen des Gesetzesentwurfs bereits verabschiedet und haben sich in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/For-The-People-Act-in-the-States-February-2021-1.pdf\">rote, blaue und violette Staaten<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAs more Republican state legislatures continue to erect barriers to voting, especially for Black and brown voters, the For the People Act is needed more than ever to protect our freedom to vote. All Americans, regardless of their race, age, or zip code, deserve to have their voices heard and votes counted. We urge Congress to keep this bill big, bold, and together because Americans deserve comprehensive reforms to overcome the continued attacks on our democracy.\r\n\r\nCommon Cause is part of nationwide campaign to pass the For the People Act. Our 1.5 million members have generated hundreds of thousands of calls and emails, as well as published hundreds of letters to the editor in local papers urging elected officials to support the bill. Common Cause commends the leadership of Senate Rules Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar, bill sponsor Senator Jeff Merkley, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for championing the For the People Act, and we will continue fighting to ensure this bill reaches President Biden\u2019s desk."}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
