[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rock The Vote wants FELONS to vote in Iowa (Page 1 of 2)

Check this bullsh*t out... I got this in my email today:

We need you to tell Iowa politicians to restore voting for former offenders who have already served their time! Restoring voting for former offenders is critical to ensure fairness in Iowa democracy. Right now, officials are considering whether Iowa should remain first on the presidential primary schedule. NOW is the time to let politicians and the media know that you support restoring the right to vote.

Unlike 90% of states, Iowa permanently disenfranchises all citizens who have served their time. As a result, about 80,000 Iowans who have served their time cannot vote, and Iowa is the number one state in disenfranchising African Americans.

HERE'S WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO:

1) CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS: Contact Governor Tom Vilsack (contact info below) and your state senator and representative (http://action.rockthevote.org/ctt.asp?u=724322&l=6855) and tell them that Iowa should extend the right to vote to all Iowans who have completed their sentence.

Governor Tom Vilsack
(515) 281-5211 (Voicemail)
State Capitol
Des Moines, IA 50319
Email: http://action.rockthevote.org/ctt.asp?u=724322&l=6856
(Yes, the governor has not been brought up to speed on actually giving out his email address. Hey, not all of us are technologically savvy).

2) REACH OUT TO OTHER IOWANS THROUGH NEWSPAPERS AND TALK RADIO: Write short letters to newspapers and call into talk radio shows and tell them that Iowa should expand the right to vote to those who have served their time.

Email Newspaper Editors:
Des Moines Register: [email protected]
Cedar Rapids Gazette: [email protected]
Waterloo Courier: [email protected]

Talk Radio:
Ames/Iowa City: WOI/WSUI Public Radio (Talk of Iowa, topical talk each day, 9-11 am, 800-861-8000 (toll free)) Des Moines: WHO Radio 1040 AM (Mr. Jan Mickelson In the Morning Show, 9am-11am M-F, conservative, (515) 284-1040 or (800) 469-4295 (toll free))

3) FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS!

HERE'S A FEW REASONS TO EXTEND IOWAN VOTING RIGHTS:
-Only Iowa and 4 other states permanently ban voting by all former offenders who have served their time (Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and Virginia)
-About 80,000 Iowans-or 1 out of every 22 Iowa adults--can't vote due to a felony (double the national average)
-1 of every 4 black adults in Iowa can't vote due to a felony (69% have served their time) -Iowa disenfranchises a greater percentage of its African-American residents than any other state in the nation -Iowa's current ban on voting by people who have served their time-which is out of step with 90% of the states in our nation-undermines the legitimacy of the Iowa Caucus -80% of Americans believe that those who have served their time should be allowed to vote.

For more information on Iowa's restrictive voting laws by the Sentencing Project, a non-partisan public policy organization, go to:

Well in all fairness. If you have served and have been let out, then you have 'paid your debt to society'. So you really should regain all your rights. If they were all that bad in the first place, then they have no business being out.

Funny thing is I bet they will NOT want them to have their 2nd ammendments rights restored along with it. Besides criminals are not all that dumb, they know Democrat = early release, Republican = throw the book at them.

If convicted felons can vote, the police and the military must be disarmed. The government derives its powers from the people. The people transmit those powers through their exercise of the franchise, either directly (through referenda) or indirectly (through election of representatives). Therefore, all powers exercised by the government are pre-existent in the voters. A person cannot give away or delegate that which he does not himself rightly possess. If a person who cannot possess a firearm can vote, then the government and its agents cannot possess firearms, because their powers are delegated to them by a grantor who does not himself have the power to possess firearms.

The sick thing about restoring 2 am. rights is that even though it WAS possible to appeal to get them restored, now it is impossible, per congress to appeal to get 2nd am. rights restored.

You can't even get your case heard.

Well hell the Democrats let dead people vote…

I don’t think felons should vote.

I know felons say they would vote 75% Democratic…

But even if they were to get to vote you have to wonder how many actually would turn out.

Well, I have a problem with it. I think everyone should have the right to protect themselves. If they're so bad and dangerous they should be kept in lockup or executed. Otherwise, give them back their rights.

No man should have to cower or fear for his life. Give the man a weapon - he's paid is debt.

Have you looked at who commits crimes… arming a felon is like tossing around a vile Nitro, it might not kill somebody but chances are it will eventually. Felons are many, many times more likely to kill, rape, rob, ect… than a non felon.

If someone is convicted of a felony you can bet their misdemeanor record ain't pretty including felonies that were plead down

Felons had their chance, the concept felons “paid their debt” is bogus on its face most can never approach “paying their debt” for the harm they did, they cannot. Doing their required time ain’t paying any debt.

While I have issues with people that have supposedly "served their time to society" being denied rights for life, the whole push by the Democrats to restore voting rights is a pretty blatant ploy to increase a almost guaranteed voting block.

I would think the very fact that convicted felons vote Democratic should cause some light bulbs to come on with more people, but it never seems to.

BTW, "felon" doesn't mean ONLY "murderers" and "gangsta's" anymore... for instance, in OHIO you're a felon if you touch your firearm while IN a vehicle (there's SOME contention as to whether it needs to be moving or running... or if sitting in a parked vehicle that isn't running is ALSO an issue, and no "yest cases" yet to settle this) you can touch the HOLSTER, but touch the FIREARM, and have an officer who's a dick watching (who didn't DIRECT you to SPECIFICALLY touch the firearm), license revoked, instant felon.

So, I'm w/cnorton on this one.... you've "done your time" - you should get ALL your rights back, if you shouldn't BE out, WTF is the gov't DOING letting you out???

WTF are you talking about , I am saying that so many things are felonies that its bullshit. To strip these people of there rights forever. I know a guy that was arrested for a felony charge for cutting across an abandoned factory yard the fence was knocked down on. Also who is making the comparison you insinuate, If you kill a 7-11 clerk for 47 dollars should be shot, but if you have read any of this post you will see felony no longer means what it used to.
Also I was mearly stating that King George had declared all of the signers of the declaration of independence treasonous. Treason is always a felony , usually punishable by death , so you are saying they should have turned their guns in?? The problem is that what is LEGAL and what is RIGHT are no longer the same thing.
Oh i forgot the guy in alaska who is a convicted felon because a subcontractor of his company ruptured a pipeline working on a public works project, tell me he shouldn't ever own a gun again.P.S. to all the spelling Nazis out there , i know i cant spell. Thank you for pointing out you superiority

Yes...there is this weird oxymoron with rights and being taken...you know the unalienable god given rights.

If we don't want our ~~privaleges~~ rights taken why should anybody elses?

If they are such scum that shouldn't have a weapon and should be locked up I'm sure one of us law abiding citizens whom of course would have a pistal on our belt would sho...err...bring justice upon them.

You can't pick and choose who gets rights.

If felons (once released from prison) can't vote or excersice other rights subject to them as a citizen to this country why should they be taxed...taxation without representation. They aren't even aloud to decide.

Just remember what you said when you go crying to someone for help because some "ex"-con with a pistol just came and stole your kid out to a corn field and killed him/her......... but..eat least he had his 2nd amendment rights.

Sorry for the hypothetical.. but I just dont buy it. I agree that everyone is entitled to the 2nd.. but when you commit a crime things change...more so if they are violent crimes resulting in death or hurting a child... why would I want to give rights back to anyone who does somthign like that?
