    You should at least see how this would allow people who have changed their lives to become higher tax paying citizens because they would be able to get better jobs and careers. This would help you EXPAND your tax payer base!

    Once a citizen who is convicted of a crime is finished serving their time, and has "paid that debt to society" they should be allowed to vote. and as far as I am concerned, NO-VIOLENT criminals who neither transgressed agaisnt another individual or another individual's property (for instance the millions of drug user arrested a year) should NEVER serve time in a prison to begin with.

    If I were if this position I would also want a second chance. Who are we to not give a second chance to a non-violent criminal? Are we so much better than thou??? If one does a crime he should do his time. Then that should be the end of it!!!

    The Fresh Start Act will allow many good individuals a fair opportunity to pursue their own "American dream." "Forgiveness" can and should be given to those who've truly paid their debt to society. Those individuals who are opposed to the proposed bill evidently never made mistakes in their lives, which they were somehow punished for. I guess they live(d) in "glass" houses.

    I think this bill is saying you have done what the courts have required of you now you can move forward with your life.

    Even the Congressmen themselves have been given second and third chances. Why not others?

    Only @ 600 people have signed this petiton (most more than once). thats the size of my graduating class from hight school - its not enough! so i am signing this again...c'mon people sign AND spread the word. i posted the link on my facebook page & sent "event invite" to whole friend list - i suggest everyone do the same! oh and I sent e-mail to several state officials/congressmen...if Reese Witherspoon can get billed passed in the Legally Blonde 2, then it's definitely possible.
