My friend, Colleen Meyer in the House, would NEVER go for this either. Colleen Meyer is a true CONSERVATIVE and really listens to those she represents.

She even went to my Mom's funeral...just from stumbling onto the date in the paper!!!

She is such a hard worker for what is right.

Unfortuately it is all too real, that Hawaii has allowed jailed felons to vote. Remember in this day and age no government official will overlook an opportunity to harm the law abiding citizen.

The democrats are very creative in generating votes. They leave no stone unturned. Acorn will slime out from under any wet rock.

Incremental procedure. Pure and simple. Once this is passed in Hawaii, suits will be filed in other states, then you have a Roe V. Wade situation in other states which haven’t yet restated their sovereignty from the Federal monopoly.

This brings to mind a question I was pondering today. What nation in this world has the smallest parasitic social class?

The Obamabizarro world. The liars and cheats and lazy get rewarded while the honest and hard working get shafted.

Twilight Zone. We are trapped in the damn Twilight Zone.

Not only do FELONS get to vote, but FELONS IN PRISON?

“Should SB 619 pass the House and gain the governor’s approval, Hawaii would become the third state where it is legal for felons who are incarcerated to vote. “

Ok, this is a shocker! What other two states allow prison inmates to vote?

“Most all of the 6,000 people in Hawaii’s prisons are serving sentences of 10 years or less, Espero noted, emphasizing they need the opportunity to become more socially responsible before they are released back into the community.”

To anyone with an ounce of brains it would be obvious that a person should demonstrate responsible behaviour to earn the right to vote, not the other way around.
