Just the sort of responsible, upstanding citizens this Republic needs....
Yeah, facing a dime on an arson charge, loss of voting rights would be my first concern too.
Probably not going to go over well here. The ability today to convict someone of something, anything, or to force them to a ‘plea deal’ with all the power of government, has become to strong. Therefore, abuse of that power can disinfranchise to many people especially if government is abused like it was under Obama. No, like Lincoln and Grant we must learn to forgive our fellow Americans and allow them to be pursue happiness and return their rights. Clearly, I am not discussing those individuals whom are dangerous. I am discussing those who have fulfilled their complete sentences, and have demonstrated they can return to society. We MUST provide a way back for their rights, a way they can be productive in society, or we will suffer another generation of criminals, and a government that will abuse the system to silence everyone. This is the civil rights issue of the day, it is a constant threat to the Republic that I thought impossible before Obama. We must provide a way to redemption.
