It is impossible to understand how excluding anyone from voting can be viewed as acceptable.Its just more unconstitutional punishment. Sanders is correct on that point. It will happen. Just hopping someone in this organization can donate lots of money so we can get these things resolved. Every dollar helps.

Yeah it’s BS along with not getting your civil rights restored keeps you from ever obtaining a professional license I guess that’s why they ask at registry so the can revoke you or get you for lying on the application about being a felon. I passed the States Building Contractors test only to be turned down activating the license so I gotta either work for someone else or pay someone to pull permits for me. Basically the state reduced me to a bottom feeder.

In reply to Capt Charles Munsey Jr. USN Ret.

Capt. as always thank you for your service. I completely agree with what you have said. My whole family are Republicans, vote for Republicans and in fact when the lady came around asking if we supported Rick Scott, i told her I couldnt vote, but if I could I would vote for him for Senate, inspite of all the laws he has signed against me. She had a look of shock, but its true.

Fundamentally we should be allowed to vote after completing our sentence. It should be automatic.

FAC did the case Hand V Scott ever get resolved?

I believe, and always have, that if an individual pays taxes that person should be able to vote. That was one of the foundation principles of this nation…’No taxation without representation’. If one ‘has skin in the game’ that one should have a say on how it is spent. Citizenship has responsibilities, obligations, and privileges. I pay my taxes, support law enforcement, contribute to my community, and served my nation, yet I am waiting on a Republican Florida government to restore my voting rights. I have made amends with my victim and we are both living congenial, supportive lives. Are the Republican Florida bureaucrats afraid that if my voting rights are restored I will vote Democrat? Well, news for them, I have been a Republican all my life but I believe in voting for the best candidate, not the party that can spend the most money.
