I had my felony for 4 years now and I haven't gotten into trouble since. but yet I can't find a job anywhere. This is ridiculous, every employer acts as if I killed somebody. All I want is to live a successful life and retire. What the system fails to understand is by not given people a chance back into society all they are doing is raising the crime rate.

We need to vote for the right candidate that will make changes that will improve our lives! And that candidate is Barack Obama, below is an excerpt from his website on key issues he CARES about! Please reference your states sites on guidelines for felon voting, most of US are able to vote. There's about 14 million convicted felons in the US, and that's A LOT OF VOTING POWER!!! Obama will ban racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies and provide federal incentives to state and local police departments to prohibit the practice. Reduce Crime Recidivism by Providing Ex-Offender Support Obama will provide job training, substance abuse and mental health counseling to ex-offenders, so that they are successfully re-integrated into society. Obama will also create a prison-to-work incentive program to improve ex-offender employment and job retention rates. Eliminate Sentencing Disparities Obama believes the disparity between sentencing crack and powder-based cocaine is wrong and should be completely eliminated. Expand Use of Drug Courts Obama will give first-time, non-violent offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in the type of drug rehabilitation programs that have proven to work better than a prison term in changing bad behavior.
