VF,
Since VOA English Language Programming is not met
to be received and heard by Americans in the USA.

Then "Why" would your Senators and Congresspersons
care if you could hear any VOA Broadcasts at all ? ? ?
If the 'goal' of the VOA is to reach the Non-American
{Non-English} Speaking Peoples of the World with the
"American View" of World News and Information. Then
VOA should be Broadcasting Around the World in every
Language except American {English} - Talking to People
in their Native Language - In Words that they can readily
understand.
