#3 The left's latest crusade -- returning the franchise to people who committed violent crimes!

If you're in the military serving overseas, they don't think your vote should count, though.

#4 Frank- I was always told that if you do NOT appear in court in Connecticut - It is a felony
failure to appear/on your record. and Unless God writes you an excuses, in the hospital/military duty etc. you are SCREWED.

I really don't agree with you on being a felon and NOT being able to vote- they need to make an adendum- listing's what types of felony conviction to exclude from voting. I just think of so many that are wrongfully convicted.
(will check your response on Tuesday- ski and be free tomorrow).
