Maybe they should have the real criminals on another Registry Those who beat their kids,abuse their wives and fail to pay child support. I wonder how fast those that do this would like to have fliers and other personal information sent to their neighbors..Maybe they should not to be allowed not to vote either!!!

In reply to B1. If the legislature reduces sentencing guidelines, the reduction can be retroactive, and people can be released from prison.

In reply to Maria. Yes, I'm in Florida. I would check with the county clerk where the charge occured. They should be able to answer if your eligible. That's how I found out. My specific county clerk has a direct line for felony questions. I could tell I was speaking with an experienced deputy who answered many similar questions.

In reply to JZ. I don't think it's a trap.

In reply to Florida Action Committee.

I went to their “Voter Status” webpage

https://www.duvalelections.com/Voter-Information/Register-to-Vote-Update-Address-Name-Party/Voter-Status

and entered my last name, birthday, and house number. Here’s what came back:

“You are currently eligible to vote in Duval County.”

I still think it’s a trap!

In reply to Maria.

Thank you, Maria!

I will be surprised if Amendment 4 passes. Floriduh is a state of unending punishment and has a strong criminal “justice” lobby that fuels the industrial prison complex. Anyone who has ever committed a felony will always be seen as a felon, and nothing more.

We see on TV, hear on the radio, and read on the internet that unemployment is at an historical low. Yet, I have applied for over 60 jobs in the past two months, but gotten only one interview, and wasn’t hired.

Again, I would implore FAC to send out or post a survey online to find out how many of us actually have jobs and if so, how many of those are working in their previous or desired professions. Thus unemployment and under-employment statistics could be determined to use as fact when challenging the “non-punitive” registry.

In reply to Jacob.

Thank you Jacob. It’s not worth the risk.

By the way, when I checked to see if my rights have been restored, even though I never had the chance for restoration under Crist, the system comes back with a screen empty of any information. So unless I see a resounding “Yes,” I’ll not risk getting a fresh five.
