As a matter of fact, after being incarcerated, a number of people become more conscious and educated about politics, so they would make excellent voters/civic participants.Cappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-56941261014395806352009-03-14T10:26:00.000-04:002009-03-14T10:26:00.000-04:00Alicia,I agree, as a country with the highest numb...Alicia,<BR/>I agree, as a country with the highest number of prisoners on the planet, I think we need to take a close look at how we deny people the right to vote forever for one mistake. Do we take away any other rights, such as the right to free speech or religion? It is a travesty, piled on to the travesty of our criminal justice system.PatricktheRoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405925786857085350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-39912597608026672252009-03-13T19:40:00.000-04:002009-03-13T19:40:00.000-04:00PTR,Thanks for the link.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Democracy North Carolina's pamphlet about the voting rights of felons in North Carolina.<BR/><BR/>If I were you I would contact the Democracy North Carolina folks and ask them what they know. I'm sure they know a lot about what goes on in the other states. Here's there contact information:<BR/><BR/>Democracy North Carolina<BR/>1821 Green Street <BR/>Durham, North Carolina 27705<BR/>(919) 286-6000<BR/><BR/>http://www.democracy-nc.org/index.shtml<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/>AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-30363517487736686192008-07-23T12:03:00.000-04:002008-07-23T12:03:00.000-04:00Do you know which states, if any, do not allow fel...Do you know which states, if any, do not allow felons to vote AFTER they have served their time?<BR/><BR/>I am asking because of how I intend to handle this election, which I find personally confusing. <BR/><BR/>If you like, see my blog www.undertow-revolution.blogspot.com, especially the post "introduction."<BR/><BR/>I'd like to give a voice to the MOST voiceless, and people in those states would NEVER have a vote.<BR/><BR/>Its been said that a conservative acknowledges the difficulty and complexity of change. That, and the fact that my dad is a Viet Nam combat vet, is where my confusion is coming from.Yadkin Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856887933749924240noreply@blogger.com
