Some jailbirds fantasize about women in prison. Others dream about what political party would make them happy.
I hope everyone knows that felons (prisoners) can’t vote.
Oops. In some states, now, apparently felons can vote. (Maine and Vermont, at the date of this article, 2008).
A loose-knit group of national organizations working to restore voting rights includes the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN (Bell’s employer); the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and the Brennan Center for Justice.
Last month, Obama campaign workers took down a sign at their headquarters in Pottstown, Pa., that said “Felons can vote,” because it might have sent the wrong message.
Hysterical! I guess Obama didn’t want to be the candidate of former inmates. :) Inmates are predominantly black and Hispanic in most states, and the article goes on to say that people who have committed felonies (jailbirds), are young, with a poor education, and “these demographics are traditionally Democrats.”
Oh, my. :)
