In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN Ret.

Capt.
I do not think it is a Republican or a Democrat issue. Neither side (Politically speaking) or anyone in between wants Felons, especially sex offenders, to vote.
They are afraid we could sway things in our favor and they will do anything in their power to suppress us. That is the REAL reason we are being held down from voting.
Why do you think black people could not vote for so long. How dare they try and drink from a water fountain or use a white man’s bathroom. (Their words not mine).

Let’s face it, it is Governor DeSantis’ effort to keep as many tax paying citizens as possible from voting or having full citizenship restored. “Further study” is a ploy used by bureaucrats to delay a decision they don’t have the fortitude to make, especially when they do not have a valid reason to deny voting rights or a pardon.

Felony Voting Law as written the day I was let go by the state, “15 years with no arrest voting rights automatically restored. Period. How is it I am forced to remain disenfranchised? How is it the law is rewritten after the fact. Good Luck America! At this point I could give a…..

In reply to Vicki Henry. Was he as spineless toward Ron Book as he has been on voting rights?

“it’s still discrimination” was my answer to Desmond when he discussed the petition they used to get the issue of restoring voter rights in Florida on the ballot. The statement about who the voters didn’t want to vote was not acceptable. This occurred at the Shattering the Shackles conference in Atlanta some time back. Oh, and by the way, he knows Ron Book and worked with him on the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust committee.

In reply to DM. That would be fun until they arrest me for saying I do not live there but have it on my registry notification. Funny for sure but not giving them one ounce of reason to be on their radar.

In reply to Jed. Yes! Thanks to Jed for remembering what Meade did to us; very similar to the bullying many of us endured in prison by drug dealers, and other thugs. Never forget that if a convicted wife beating drug dealer is entitled to redemption, so are we.

I wonder if another ballot initiative could be employed to engrave in the constitution a fair process for receiving a pardon, rather than the partisan method employed by the current administration.

It really bothers me that when people in office don’t like the rules under which they must operate, they can simply vote in new rules. The rules by which Congress operates is a prime example. This fiasco with the Supreme court could have been averted if we had iron clad rules applied uniformly regardless of the administration in power.
