Right now, in Florida, nearly 1.5 million people are excluded from voting who have earned the opportunity to participate in and give back to their communities. These are our family members, friends, and neighbors - and they are deprived of the ability to fully participate in how their own communities are governed. This ban lasts forever -- long after they have repaid their debts to society.
The good news is that we have an opportunity to restore voting in Florida and strengthen our democracy. Together, we can amend the state's constitution and return the ability to vote to Floridians who have done their time and paid their debt to society.
Our first goal is simple: We need to gather 1 million signatures from registered Florida voters by December 31, 2017. If we get the required signatures, this issue will be on the November 2018 ballot, and we can vote to change the law.
You can join this movement and make a difference right away. You and a couple of friends can collect petition signatures at a local mall or sporting event this weekend. You can even meet for breakfast first, and make a get-together out of it. We provide all the tools you need (blank petitions, basic training instructions, and a little advice).
Get started, and make a difference in Florida today.
