Imagine some people where slaves or not look at as equals. Now think about it, if you were the majority and wanted to stay the majority what would be the best way to do that in a democracy? If you don't know I will tell you, you take away the voice of minorities. The best way to do this in a democracy is to silence thier vote. Say this was acctually happaning. How could the people who are being victimized change anything? They can't. Yes, this is happening. Right now!

I would like to add a little more flavor to his view regarding felons. I will use myself as an example, I got in trouble with the law 32 years ago. My intentions as a young man was not to defy the law nor to destroy. I believe in the law only if its just. The only problem I see is that the law is not providing restoration remendies for aa ex-felon individual who wants fit back into the mainstream of society. every felon is an indivdual an should be treated as an indivdual. what I mean by all this is that if a felon individual has prooven him or herself as truly reformed, the right thing to do is give that person a second chance. For the entire law system to deprive the opportunity of reform or restoration rights to exsist mentally free as a human being is a violation too its own laws. Their are people who exsist in high society who's hate have been acepted as the final decision, these people include employers,district attorney, city officals, state, governors,representatives, senators and many more. And all that a herting person wants and reaching out for is to be accepted in order that they may move forward as a constructive citizen of the country. I committed an attempt of burglary 32 years ago an only serve one year for my wrong am I happy about it 'no'. But I think Iam an individual who deserve a second chance and my mind to be free from condemnation by the rest of society. I have a wife a daughter who are special, an I want to provide for them. Everytime I search for employment Iam being discrimnated simply because of what happen 32 years ago. Our society is making local ex-con as national terroist killy the hope for change.

One of them hosts a debate on the ACLU's position on felon voting specifically: http://www.acluprocon.org/bin/procon/procon.cgi?database=5-G-Sub-2Q.db&command=viewone&op=t&id=4&rnd=603.1152718578392 The other one gets into the whole felon voting issue in general: wwww.felonvotingprocon.org. My own view is that felon re-enfranchisement arguments are disengenous and politically motivated. If re-enfranchisement proponents were really concerned about democracry they would focus on a MUCH bigger problem - most people (literally) without voting restrictions do not vote.

Why then, after the person has completed this process shoud they still be continually punished for the rest of their lives? The majority of businesses now continue to punish them by not hiring them. Our federal system will not allow them to get federal aid of any kind. Then really everyone convicted of any felony should just be put to death by this barbaric society and then only the perfect people would be left like the politicians and the people that believe a person can never make a mistake or change their ways. These hipocrits make me sick. When someone has paid their dues for a crime then they sould atleast be given a chance to start over. No wonder so many go right back to crime. Society makes it impossible for them to do anything else.

I dont think so I support restoring their rights.

In Missouri at least 16 St. Louis area Democrats were found guilty of election crimes in the last year and a half and now there is even more fraud going on. When Republican Gov.
