People often cite the NRA\u2019s political contributions as a major reason for the ongoing stalemate. And as this report has detailed, the NRA\u2019s organizing power and political spending are significant. Too many politicians are beholden to the NRA and fear its influence in their election.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s where voters come in.\r\n\r\nOur democracy should be of, by, and for the people.

There is more we must do \u2013 but here are places we can start to make our democracy more accountable and reflective.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Registrieren und abstimmen!<\/strong> Die Stimmabgabe ist das wichtigste Instrument, das wir als B\u00fcrger haben, um unsere gew\u00e4hlten Amtstr\u00e4ger zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Unsere Stimmen machen uns alle gleich und m\u00e4chtiger, als wir glauben \u2013 aber nur, wenn wir zur Wahl gehen und sie abgeben. In vielen Gerichtsbarkeiten k\u00f6nnen Sie sich online als W\u00e4hler registrieren. In anderen L\u00e4ndern m\u00fcssen Sie m\u00f6glicherweise ein W\u00e4hlerregistrierungsformular per Post einsenden oder es bei Ihrem \u00f6rtlichen Wahlb\u00fcro abgeben. In vielen Bundesstaaten k\u00f6nnen sich junge Menschen vor Vollendung ihres 18. Lebensjahrs \u201evorregistrieren\u201c, um w\u00e4hlen zu k\u00f6nnen. Informationen zur Registrierung in Ihrem Bundesstaat finden Sie unter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vote.org\/\">http:\/\/www.vote.org\/<\/a>. Wenn Sie Probleme bei der Registrierung haben oder Fragen zur Stimmabgabe haben, z. B. welche Art von Ausweis Sie zum Wahllokal mitbringen m\u00fcssen, welche Regeln f\u00fcr die vorzeitige Stimmabgabe gelten und wo sich Ihr Wahllokal befindet, k\u00f6nnen Sie eine \u00fcberparteiliche Wahlschutz-Hotline anrufen, die von der Wahlschutzkoalition betrieben wird. Die Telefonnummer lautet 866-OUR-VOTE; Sie k\u00f6nnen die Wahlschutzkoalition auch online unter folgender Adresse besuchen: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.866ourvote.org\/\">www.866OurVote.org<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Fordern Sie Ihren Staat auf, Ma\u00dfnahmen zu ergreifen, die die Teilnahme der Amerikaner am Wahlprozess modernisieren. Zu den Ma\u00dfnahmen geh\u00f6ren die Vorregistrierung f\u00fcr 16- und 17-J\u00e4hrige, die automatische W\u00e4hlerregistrierung und die vorzeitige Stimmabgabe.<\/strong> Jeder wahlberechtigte Amerikaner hat das Recht zu w\u00e4hlen und der Wahlprozess sollte unsere Lebens- und Arbeitsweise im 21.

Das bedeutet, dass innovative Richtlinien verabschiedet und umgesetzt werden m\u00fcssen, um den Registrierungsprozess zu rationalisieren und die Wahlverwaltung zu modernisieren.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Automatische W\u00e4hlerregistrierung<\/strong> wird dazu beitragen, die veralteten W\u00e4hlerregistrierungssysteme und -datenbanken in den meisten Staaten zu modernisieren. Die automatische Registrierung wahlberechtigter W\u00e4hler bei der Abwicklung von Gesch\u00e4ften mit Kraftfahrzeugbeh\u00f6rden und anderen Regierungsbeh\u00f6rden wird unsere Systeme rationalisieren. Neun Staaten und der District of Columbia haben die automatische W\u00e4hlerregistrierung genehmigt, und es wird zunehmend daran gearbeitet, diese sinnvolle Reform auch in anderen Gerichtsbarkeiten durchzusetzen. Wenn diese Politik umgesetzt wird, k\u00f6nnten zig Millionen W\u00e4hler in die W\u00e4hlerlisten aufgenommen werden.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Vorregistrierung f\u00fcr 16- und 17-J\u00e4hrige<\/strong> erm\u00f6glicht jungen Menschen, sich als W\u00e4hler einzutragen, damit sie bei der ersten Wahl, an der sie teilnehmen k\u00f6nnen, ihre Stimme abgeben k\u00f6nnen. In 16 Bundesstaaten und im District of Columbia ist diese Regelung bereits in Kraft.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Vorzeitige Stimmabgabe<\/strong> tr\u00e4gt dazu bei, dass die Stimmabgabe fair und zug\u00e4nglich ist. Die Amerikaner sollten bei der Stimmabgabe eine gewisse Flexibilit\u00e4t haben. Die meisten Bundesstaaten erlauben eine Form der vorzeitigen Stimmabgabe w\u00e4hrend eines festgelegten Zeitraums vor der Wahl. Dies stellt sicher, dass Amerikaner, die am Wahltag arbeiten oder unterwegs sind, ihre Stimme abgeben k\u00f6nnen. Dennoch erlauben 13 Bundesstaaten keine vorzeitige Stimmabgabe und verlangen einen besonderen Grund f\u00fcr die Briefwahl. Weitere Informationen zu den Verfahren Ihres Bundesstaates finden Sie auf der \u00fcberparteilichen Website von Election Protection. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.866ourvote.org\/\">www.866OurVote.org<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>3. \u00c4ndern Sie die Art und Weise, wie wir politische Kampagnen finanzieren, um allen Amerikanern Macht zu verleihen, nicht nur den wenigen Reichen.<\/strong> Dies bedeutet, dass wir die Rolle von Kleinspendern bei unseren Wahlen st\u00e4rken m\u00fcssen. Mit jedem Wahlzyklus sind unsere gew\u00e4hlten Politiker auf immer gr\u00f6\u00dfere Spenden eines immer kleineren Teils unserer Bev\u00f6lkerung angewiesen. Infolgedessen h\u00f6ren unsere Politiker mehr auf eine Handvoll finanzkr\u00e4ftiger Spender und Interessen als auf die einfachen Amerikaner. Um sicherzustellen, dass jeder eine echte Stimme in der Politik hat, brauchen wir eine Politik, die Kleinspender in den Mittelpunkt der Wahlkampffinanzierung stellt, indem wir sie durch entsprechende \u00f6ffentliche Mittel, Steuergutschriften oder Kleingeldgutscheine f\u00f6rdern und erg\u00e4nzen. Die Bereitstellung \u00f6ffentlicher Mittel zur St\u00e4rkung der Rolle der einfachen Amerikaner bei der Finanzierung von Wahlen erm\u00f6glicht es auch mehr Menschen, sich um ein Amt zu bewerben \u2013 was dazu beitr\u00e4gt, Amtstr\u00e4ger zu w\u00e4hlen, die die Gesellschaft als Ganzes besser widerspiegeln \u2013 und erm\u00f6glicht es den Kandidaten, mehr Zeit damit zu verbringen, ihren W\u00e4hlern zuzuh\u00f6ren. Dies f\u00fchrt zu einer Politik, die den Bed\u00fcrfnissen der \u00d6ffentlichkeit besser entspricht und weniger von den Interessen der Reichen beeinflusst wird. Connecticut hat eines der effektivsten freiwilligen, von den B\u00fcrgern finanzierten Wahlsysteme unseres Landes, an dem mehr als 751.000 erfolgreiche Kandidaten teilgenommen haben. Anders als der Kongress verabschiedete die Legislative von Connecticut nach der Schie\u00dferei an der Sandy Hook-Grundschule umfassende \u00c4nderungen an den Waffengesetzen. <a id=\"return-note-24-41\" class=\"simple-footnote\" title=\"Lisa W.

Jahrhunderts erfordert strenge Transparenz- und Offenlegungsgesetze, damit jeder wei\u00df, wer politische Kampagnen finanziert. Geheime Wahlkampfspenden sind inakzeptabel und undemokratisch. Seit Citizens United im Jahr 2010 wurden allein auf Bundesebene unsere Wahlen mit mehr als 148 Milliarden Dollar aus geheimen Quellen verf\u00e4lscht. Wie oben beschrieben, erfolgte der Gro\u00dfteil der Ausgaben der NRA in den letzten Jahren mit sehr begrenzter Offenlegung \u2013 und sie hat hart daf\u00fcr gek\u00e4mpft, dass dies so bleibt, indem sie im Kongress gegen den DISCLOSE Act lobbyierte. Dennoch gehen Staaten wie Kalifornien, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Mexico und Rhode Island mit ihren verbesserten Offenlegungsgesetzen f\u00fcr Landtagswahlen voran.\r\n\r\n<strong>5. Erstellen Sie #FairMaps und beenden Sie das Gerrymandering.<\/strong> Democracy should mean that everyone counts and has fair and equal representation. Voters should pick their elected representatives, rather than having politicians pick their constituents. Building off several legal victories and successes in creating strong systems in California and Arizona, efforts to implement solutions that increase fairness and transparency in drawing political boundaries are moving across the country. Redistricting that puts people first requires several elements. Every person living in a community must be fully and accurately counted. This can be achieved through improved census outreach and data collection while ending prison gerrymandering, the counting of prisoners where the prison is located instead of where they previously lived. Districts must adhere to the requirements of the Voting Rights Act and decision-makers should prioritize keeping communities of interest together. A transparent process that allows the public to fully engage requires meetings of decision-makers to be held in public, enforces strong conflict of interest protections, and makes data and software being used to draw districts publicly available. No deliberations among decision-makers should be kept from the people through legislative privilege or other means.\r\n\r\nOf course, none of these solutions alone will solve all our problems. But they will help to elevate the power of everyday Americans.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about these solutions, and to sign-up for action alerts nationally and in your state, sign-up at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/de\/\">commoncause.org<\/a> und machen Sie sich bereit zum Einstecken und Mitmachen."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_wysiwyg":{"content":"<h2>Danksagung<\/h2>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_wysiwyg":{"content":"Common Cause was founded in 1970 by John Gardner.
