It's been tough telling my sons why their dad can't vote I made some mistakes when I was younger that have stripped me of my right to vote. You see, I was arrested for a fight when I was 16 and convicted of a felony drug possession when I was 29. I'm now 40 years old and I haven't been able to vote for most of my life. I'm also a single dad who is trying to set a good example for my boys. I'd really like to have a chance to show the that I care about the world around me and that I can do something to make it a better place. Governor Bob McDonnell said in his annual State of the Commonwealth that he believes in second chances and that he supports automatically restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions who have done their time and paid their fines. But the House of Delegates killed a bill that would have made that a reality. Now I'm asking Gov. McDonnell to sign an executive order that would allow people like me to get a second chance and be a part of our democracy. --Darrell Gooden

You might not believe it, but in Michigan, you can be fired for being gay. Republican politicians like Jase Bolger and Bill Schuette aren’t interested in changing this - in fact, since taking power they’ve launched numerous attacks on the rights of anyone who looks, acts, or loves differently than they do. Write your lawmakers today to tell them you believe it’s wrong that Michiganders can be fired for being gay, and that you support amending the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Opponents of same-sex marriage claim that marriage for the purpose of procreating and/or raising a family , they must not allow marriage between a man and a woman who are unable to, choose not to, or are too old to raise a family. The point is, they will never demand that, thereby they are being highly hypocritical.
