Felonious Junk: is a vote for reform on the horizon?
As regular BlogWood readers are well aware, in Florida, we continue to punish people after they’ve paid their debts to society by denying them basic civil rights. Jeb! and his GOP cronies strongly support this unfair practice, so it came as something of a shock to learn that some prominent Republican legislators are considering a referendum to do away with this racist practice.
Two powerful Republican lawmakers are urging Gov. Jeb Bush to restore civil rights to felons who have completed their sentences -- and have vowed to support a voter referendum to end Florida's 137-year-old ban altogether if the governor refuses.Posted by Norwood at January 28, 2005 11:13 AM
