Is Safavian out of jail yet?  Maybe they should have put this sign in front of the federal penitentiary where he went instead of his house.  Oh wait a minute, he can't vote any more....

Has Mark Allen figured out which political party he's in yet?  Isn't he the guy who showed up at the Alexandria Democratic Committee Meeting, gave a speech, didn't like his reception, and then filed as a Republican?

I guess he's really having to dig deep for people that will actually put his sign in their yard.  Perhaps its ood to start with a felon's house.

Perhaps Del. Englin will greet Safavian when he gets out of jail. 

Just last week he was going around with a volunteer to push for the restoration of felon voting rights.  On his website he says "Too many members of our community are denied the right to vote because of a mistake in their past that they have already paid for.  If you are convicted of a crime and have paid your debt to society, your right to vote and to participate in the democratic process should be restored automatically." 

So, I guess Del. Englin will have no problem with Safavian voting whenever he gets out of jail?

Should felons who have served their time never be allowed to vote again?  From the tone of your post, I assume the answer is yes.  And if that is the case, I wonder why.  Are people not capable of redeeming themselves?  When is someone deserving of our forgiveness?

Felons who have served their time should be allowed to vote.  In fact, they ARE allowed to vote in just about every state,. with one embarrassing exception being Virginia. Heck, even Florida under its new Republican governor has restored the voting rights of ex-felons.  We've discussed this issue extensively, but the bottom line is that once you've paid your debt to society, there's no excuse for having your voting rights denied.

Yes, Allen is the same fool who came to our Alex. Dem. Comm. meeting to state that he was planning on taking on Englin in a primary.  I guess he couldn't find any money from our well and decided to tap into his rich friends from the Republican side of the aisle.

Of course the concern is that Republicans in Alex. have a lot of money to give out since they rarely have candidates running in many elections. 

What a royal flip-flopper.

How long before Connolly or his surrogates point out that Baise served on the board of a phony GOP environmental organization used to launder Abramoff's dirty money?  The head of that organization, Itallia Federici, was also convicted and I think sentenced to prison.
