Give felons the rite to vote you can't take our rights and expect us to change when we dont have a say in out futures.
Why is this important?
I would like to speak out for thousands of convicted felons whom are expected to change their actions and way of life yet our rights are stripped from us. How can our voices be heard and changes be expected to happen if we can't be heard?
Taking our right to vote away is only trying to confirm that we are nothing, nobody's, and that our opinions and voices are no longer valued, which in turn strips us of our feelings of self worth in turn hindering our process of positive change. We can not be coached to make positive changes and then have our voices be taken from us.
