Voting Rights for People with Felony Convictions

Image
Voting for People with Felony Convictions Felony disenfranchisement is the practice of denying people with felony convictions the right to vote.  No other nation disenfranchises as many of its citizens as the U.S.  Over five million Americans are denied the right to vote because of felony convictions. The U.S. is the only democracy in the world that takes the right to vote away from citizens who have completed their sentences. This causes over two million U.S. citizens to be “permanently” disenfranchised from the voting process. With the exception of Maine and Vermont, there is consensus among the states that inmates are prohibited from voting while incarcerated for a felony offense.  However, states differ with respect to voter eligibility for inmates once they have been released from prison, and most states prohibit people with felony convictions from voting while they are on parole or probation.  Even after the successful completion of parole or probation, two stat

1803 Louisiana Purchase Treaty: America's shattered treaty with a sovereign people

The Louisiana Purchase Treaty, the ramifications. For all those who are interested in the history of the Creoles of the United States and particularly how Creolism developed in the state of Louisiana, it is imperative to understand how the Louisiana Purchase Treaty came into effect and under what circumstances. The LPT is often said to be a turning point in the history of the Louisiana State and its integration into the United States of America. However, not much attention was given to the people of that state at the time the treaty in that process. A people with a unique history and culture different from the rest of the United States: The Creoles of Louisiana, which was made up of Creole Indians, like the Ancient Houma and Choctaws, Free people of Colour (gens de couleurs libres) as well as "blacks" of African and Haitian origins. No compensation, consideration or respect were given to the right and freedom of these people to continue to enjoy their unique culture

TRAYVON: Dead Boys Tell No Tales

Image
Growing up in some dangerous places gives me a unique perspective on this whole Trayvon thing. I have had guns pulled on me too many times to count within my short life. Not in one of those times that I have been drawn upon have I ever been tempted to "wrestle" with the gun wielder, though unfortunately, I have. I was only concerned with getting out of the line of fire (natural). As you can see , I'm still here, so there you go. One's natural inclination is to create distance from a weapon, NOT engage. Especially an urban youth would know better. I continue to hear all of this distracting crap about cut's on a killer's head and what it can tell you. It tells you s-h-i-t. Absolutely nothing. What DOESN'T it tell you? Well, did he have the cut BEFORE he ignored police instructions to cease stalking? Does it tell you why you don't hear any control commands, like "STOP OR I'll SHOOT!". There were certainly enough people to hear the boy

Penn State's SANDUSKY: Child Anal Rapist

Image
A Disturbing Description of Serial Child Sex Abuse The Grand Jury’s presentment details its members’ findings of a gruesome series of acts in which young boys were molested in varying degrees by Jerry Sandusky, both while he was a football coach for Penn State and after he retired, but still maintained substantial ties to the program. (Our description of the facts is taken from the grand jury’s report, unless otherwise noted.) Sandusky found his victims through “The Second Mile,” a charity he founded to help at-risk boys and through which he earned almost $500,000 over an eight-year period.  The abuse the grand jury reported includes everything from kissing, fondling, groping, and naked “bear-hugging” in the locker room showers, to receiving and performing oral sex and anal rape.  The presentment reports on abuse of eight different victims, but recent news reports put the number of victims closer to 20. Some of the incidents of abuse, the presentment noted, occurred in Sandus
