We have to end the practice of drawing our congressional districts so that politicians can pick their voters, and not the other way around. We have to reduce the influence of money in our politics, so that a handful of families and hidden interests can't bankroll our elections – and if our existing approach to campaign finance can't pass muster in the courts, we need to work together to find a real solution. We've got to make voting easier, not harder, and modernize it for the way we live now. And over the course of this year, I intend to travel the country to push for reforms that do.
我们要取消划分国会选区的做法,因为划分选区后,政客们会自己去选择选民,而不是让选民选择他们。我们必须降低金钱对政治的影响,这样就可以防止少数家族和幕后利益集团用资金影响选举。如果关于竞选资金的现行办法未能获得法院通过,我们就要共同努力,寻求真正的解决方案。我们要让投票更容易,而不是更难,我们应顺应现在的生活方式,使投票方式现代化。今年,我打算走遍全国,来推进这些改革。
But I can't do these things on my own. Changes in our political process – in not just who gets elected but how they get elected – that will only happen when the American people demand it. It will depend on you. That's what's meant by a government of, by, and for the people.
