Rand Paul fights for felon voting rights - CNN.com
February 19, 2014
(CNN) --
"Kids do make mistakes. White kids make mistakes. Black kids make mistakes. Brown kids make mistakes," Paul told the Kentucky state Senate committee considering a constitutional amendment to restore the voting rights of some felons on Wednesday. "But when you look at the prison population, three out of the four people in prison are black or brown."
The issue of restoring felon voting rights has made for some unusual alliances as former felons, like Fogle, see in lawmakers like Paul, a tea party-backed Republican, a champion.
Nationally, about 5.8 million people are prohibited from voting because of current or previous felony convictions, according to Attorney Gen. Eric Holder.
In the swing states of Florida and Virginia, one in five black adults is unable to vote because of these laws, according to Holder.
In Paul's home state of Kentucky, it's also one in five.
Voting is a Constitutional right, dumbass.
And felons should lose their RIGHT to vote. Until they have paid their debt to society - then their right should be restored.
Obviously you do, otherwise you wouldn't be replying to his posts. Wow, he must really be inside your head, LOL.No one cares what you think.And felons should lose their RIGHT to vote. Until they have paid their debt to society - then their right should be restored.
Voting is a Constitutional right, dumbass.
If you wan't felons to ever fully reintergrate into society, then they should not be disinfranchised for life; there should be a criteria inplace wherein they can achieve voting status again. If they have paid in full for their crimes, and have succesfully acculturated to mainstream - then let them vote. :
The reason they want to allow felons, Mexicans and illegals to vote is because less and less Americans vote in elections despite their desperate attempts to create an illusion before each election that the race is super tight and it is super important to go out and vote for one of their puppets because the country is at steak. reality is I went to vote a couple of times, and both times the booth was practically empty aside from voting staff - no lines no nothing - people no longer believe in this joke, not enough of them anyway. It's time for a referendum:Dumbass. All these felons will vote dem and repubs need to fight against this. GOP should say something like "we'll restore their voting rights if we also restore their gun rights. Gun rights are a CONSTITUTIONAL right, unlike voting." See how dems like that.

I'm a moderate libertarian, but I definitely disagree with Rand on this one, at least at the federal level. Leave it up to the states.
Felons can get their gun rights back.

I never lost mine even after I plead guilty to my charge which was a felony.
