Mahal na Miyembro ng Kongreso:<\/p>\r\n

During this year commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March for voting rights in Selma, Alabama and the passage of the historic Voting Rights Act, we, the undersigned organizations, a coalition of civil rights, social and criminal justice, and other legal and advocacy organizations, are writing to urge your support and co-sponsorship of a bill that is also critical to voting rights in America -- the Democracy Restoration Act of 2015. This bill seeks to restore voting rights in federal elections to people who are out of prison and living in the community. The current patchwork of laws that disfranchises people with criminal records has created an inconsistent and unfair federal electoral process, perpetuating entrenched racial discrimination. As organizations dedicated to promoting democracy and justice as well as equal rights for all Americans, we strongly support passage of this legislation.<\/p>\r\n

Sa kasalukuyan, 5.85 milyong mamamayang Amerikano ang pinagkaitan ng karapatang bumoto dahil mayroon silang kriminal na paniniwala sa kanilang nakaraan. 4.4 milyon sa mga taong ito ay wala sa bilangguan, naninirahan sa komunidad, nagbabayad ng buwis at nagpapalaki ng mga pamilya; gayunpaman, nananatili silang walang karapatan sa loob ng maraming taon, madalas na mga dekada, at kung minsan ay habang-buhay. Ang Estados Unidos ay isa sa ilang kanlurang demokratikong bansa na hindi kasama ang napakaraming tao mula sa demokratikong proseso. Kailangan ng aksyong kongreso upang maibalik ang mga karapatan sa pagboto sa mga pederal na halalan sa milyun-milyong Amerikano na pinalaya mula sa pagkakakulong, ngunit patuloy na ipinagkakait ang kanilang kakayahang ganap na lumahok sa buhay sibiko. Ang Democracy Restoration Act of 2015, na ipinakilala ni Senator Ben Cardin at Representative John Conyers, ay nilayon na tugunan ang mga kawalang-katarungang ito.<\/p>\r\n

Lumaganap ang mga batas sa kriminal na disfranchisement noong panahon ni Jim Crow, at pinagtibay kasama ng mga buwis sa botohan at mga pagsusulit sa literacy at may layuning pigilan ang mga African American na bumoto. Noong 1900, tinanggihan ng 38 estado ang mga karapatan sa pagboto sa mga taong may hatol na kriminal, karamihan sa mga ito ay nag-disfranchised sa mga tao hanggang sa makatanggap sila ng pardon. Ang mga inaasahang epekto ng mga batas na ito ay nagpapatuloy hanggang ngayon. Sa buong bansa, isa sa 13 African American ang nawalan ng karapatang bumoto. Kung magpapatuloy ang kasalukuyang mga rate ng pagkakakulong, tatlo sa sampu ng susunod na henerasyon ng mga African American na lalaki ang mawawalan ng karapatang bumoto sa isang punto ng kanilang buhay. Ang isyung ito ay nakakaapekto rin sa mga komunidad ng Latino dahil sa kanilang labis na representasyon sa sistema ng hustisyang kriminal. Ang pagkakaiba-iba ng lahi na ito ay nakakaapekto rin sa mga pamilya ng mga nawalan ng karapatan at sa mga komunidad kung saan sila naninirahan sa pamamagitan ng pagbabawas ng kanilang sama-samang pampulitikang boses.<\/p>\r\n

Sa bansang ito, ang pagboto ay isang pambansang simbolo ng pagkakapantay-pantay sa pulitika at ganap na pagkamamamayan. Kapag ang isang mamamayan ay tinanggihan ang karapatan at responsibilidad na ito, ang kanyang katayuan bilang isang buo at pantay na miyembro ng ating lipunan ay pinagdududahan. Ang mga responsibilidad ng pagkamamamayan \u2013 pagtatrabaho, pagbabayad ng buwis at pagbibigay ng kontribusyon sa sariling komunidad \u2013 ay mga tungkuling ipinagkaloob sa mga muling pumasok sa lipunan. Upang higit pang parusahan ang mga indibidwal na bumalik sa komunidad sa pamamagitan ng pagkakait sa kanila ng isang karapatan ng pagkamamamayan ay sumasalungat sa pag-asa na ang mga mamamayan ay na-rehabilitation ang kanilang sarili pagkatapos ng paghatol. Ang Estados Unidos ay hindi dapat maging isang bansa kung saan ang mga epekto ng mga nakaraang pagkakamali ay may hindi mabilang na mga kahihinatnan\u2013at walang pagkakataon para sa pagbawi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Ang pagpasa ng Democracy Restoration Act ay magtitiyak na ang lahat ng mga Amerikanong naninirahan sa kanilang mga komunidad ay magkakaroon ng pagkakataong lumahok sa ating proseso ng elektoral. Ang isang malakas, masiglang demokrasya ay nangangailangan ng pinakamalawak na posibleng batayan ng partisipasyon ng mga botante, at ang pagpayag sa lahat ng tao na nakakumpleto ng kanilang oras sa bilangguan na bumoto ay ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang matiyak ang pinakamalaking antas ng pakikilahok.<\/p>\r\n

Hinihimok namin kayo na suportahan ang pagpasa ng Democracy Restoration Act of 2015.<\/p>\r\n
