stealing a loaf of bread is not a felony.
Who stole 32 million? What are you using to back this up or is it just a blanket accusation?
Once again, the emotional response. When all else fails, use the emotional plea.
How many people that were correctly on the felon list stole bread so that they could feed their starving children. I would guess: zip, zero, zilch, nada. How many people that are on this list want to vote? How many people are just being used as pawns to promote a cause?
This is not an emotional issue (if your name is on the no-vote list correctly). Nowhere does it say that your slate is wiped clean after committing a crime.
Everybody knows this.
Don't want a criminal record to follow you for the rest of your life....don't commit a crime. Don't want to lose your voting priviledge....don't get convicted of a felony. Want to keep your driver's license....don't get DUI's. etc., etc., etc.
It is not like the punishments associated with committing crimes are a great big secret.
Edit: Since when does one lose their citizenship for committing a crime? A little bit of hyperbole there, eh?
