Jacob,
Then how would that &quot;HELP&quot; sex offenders procure a right to vote by denying them that very right
 (to vote)??
The passing of Amendment 4 would amend the Fla Constitution that &quot;felons&quot; (murders who are facing a life sentence and cant get out of jail-- and sex offenders, who many are out of jail, trying to live a normal life) could never be able to have that right to vote, ever, taken away permanently. 
 It would make the Florida Constitution 
UN-constitutional, as it would completely discriminate against a specific group/class of people.
 Why dont we eliminate ALL the family members of all the politicians who run for office, their families, friends, poll workers, callers, organizers, donators from voting because they are bias towards one candidate.?? (seems kinda silly dont you think)?

Some of us on this site did heinous things (and regret it, and have made, or trying to make amends to move forward with their lives) And abide by the law-- for years/decades.
 Some of us on this site are on this site because of stings that they were coerced into. (Craigslist stings)
 Some are on this site because they were caught peeing on a dumpster, in a park, at 3am.
 And some on here were set up by vengeful girlfriends, wives, coerced step-daughters and are completely innocent, yet lack the hundreds of thousands of dollars to properly defend themselves.
And in your last statement you totally confuse me and probably half on here when you say this...
&quot;I don’t doubt that there is a sex offender who could beat Lauren Book. Just not a convicted and registered one. Sex offenders have held public office at all levels, I would argue.&quot;
To be labeled a sex offender you would have to be tried AND convicted of a sex offense.
I would like to know WHO has held office and has been a CONVICTED sex offender.
I am sorry, but your post has made absolutely no sense.]]></description>

Not sure I follow.  The reason Amendment 4 excludes sex offenders is that its sponsors felt that that would help ensure its success in passing.]]></description>

I am truly sorry that you would let other peoples opinions carry weight over what you think and how you act and influence how you vote.

IF &#039;people&#039; as you put it are not afraid to let sex offenders go to the polls to vote, then why even have Amendment 4 to disallow them to vote???

You state &quot; If I allow a registered sex offender to vote, how will that go over in the local press, and what will people think of me then?&quot;
So.... It is NOT about the sex offenders, but it is about what people will think about YOU and how you vote.
How will they know how you vote..... unless you tell them..??
Sad...... SO SAD]]></description>

Nobody is afraid of registered sex offenders going to the polls and voting.  Not one person is.

But some people are afraid that other people are afraid.  If I allow a registered sex offender to vote, how will that go over in the local press, and what will people think of me then?

I don’t doubt that there is a sex offender who could beat Lauren Book.  Just not a convicted and registered one.  Sex offenders have held public office at all levels, I would argue.]]></description>

And by supporting BOTH sides, it will increase the voting lot by 1 million 35 thousand.
WHY are they so afraid to have sex offenders get their voting rights back??
Are they afraid that the &quot;little old 35 K might be the difference in voting their asses out?
 I would LOVE to have a sex offender run against Lauren Book---- and WIN!!!
Poor daddy/daughter would both have strokes!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was registering today and an older guy, probably in his late fifties comes up to the counter and signs in. He tells the ladies that are working there that he hopes they vote yes on amendment 4. They tell him they are planning on voting, so he says he hopes so and he says out loud to everybody in the waiting room to vote yes on 4. So as he was walking to his chair, I tell him you know that all depends on what situation your in. He says no it doesn&#039;t, I done checked on it, if it passes, we all will be able to vote. I say to him that&#039;s not true, it doesn&#039;t apply to murderers and sex offenders, and he balked back yes it does, it&#039;s for everybody. I told him that it doesn&#039;t, and he started to argue with me in a loud voice, but the lady behind the counter told him to let it go and sit down. So I&#039;m thinking there are probably many people in our situation that may be telling people to vote yes, but are ending up hurting others unknowingly on this vote. Just thought I would share this because it happened to me this morning. I had withhold of adjudication, so I can vote. And I am voting no on 4,6,and 9.]]></description>
