Disenfranchisement of the parasite class by any means necessary is crucial in order to restore the Republic.
It CAN be done.
It WILL be done.
So now the guy that molested your kid can now cancel out your vote.
So they can elect their fellow felons.
Well, Maryland is right next to DC. If they didn’t let felons vote, none of the politicians who live in Maryland would be able to vote.
You scuba dive in lakes with guns?....................Loch Ness?.................
Oh well, not like Republicans had a chance in MD anyway.
This country will be luck to survive another 10 years.
Come soon, Lord Jesus!
I disagree with most “blanket” laws.
I think if a felon remains crime free, for 5 years after his sentence is complete, he regains voting right. If he commits a another felony, he loses the right forever.
I thought this was already done by O Malley.
So Freddie Grey gets to vote?
My guess these felons have pledged to vote demodummie just to get out the door of the prisons, not that they would not have voted for the demodummies in the first place.
The country as a whole is going down one.
If one has the right to VOTE, then one has the right to OWN and CARRY guns. The same standard applies! That means NO picture ID’s to buy guns - that is too discriminatory.
Soros’ dream come true.
You can espouse your principles all you’d like, but the bottom line is that felons are a staunch liberal bloc. If you want more liberals in office, you let felons vote; if you want conservatives in office, you don’t let felons vote.
It’s unfortunate that some people wouldn’t be able to vote if they were indicted on BS such as trying to escape tax fraud on the part of the government, but results are results.
Sorry but I don’t support disenfranchising people on the basis of their politics. There is a word for that. Dictatorship. I will just have to live with the occasional electoral disappointment.
What you proposed in your post #11, removing gun rights from non-violent offenders on a second offense, is far more dictatorial than what I propose we do with voting rights. Removing the voting rights from felons (be it just or unjust) has the practical effect of soldifying the right to a gun for all citizens, which is a far more fundamental right than voting is.
If someone’s voting rights are revoked, they can attempt to flee the country, but it is possible to survive without gun rights. It is not possible to survive without gun rights.
OOPS possible to survive without VOTING rights.
Well said. “Having paid one’s debt to society” means nothing to the Sisters of Perpetual Punishment.
I think anyone who serves their time and is off parole should have full citizenship rights re-instated. That is the meaning of paying one’s debt to society.
