Well, they can't posess firearms, get a liquor license, drive a schoolbus, or even vote, so why should they be able to run for elected office?isnt a blanket ban also a rejection of our criminal justice system? If someone convicted of a felony has been charged, found guilty, sentenced to some form of punishment, and completed that punishment fully, isn't that person "rehabilitated"? Or, are you saying that once a person is found guilty...or pleads no contest.. to a felony they are no longer fit to be a part of society?
There ARE ways for to have your record expunged and have your rights restored if you go through the process.
