Allow Felons that have served there time, to recieve a chance to be successful after being incarcerated.

I am a convicted felon of the state of Virginia which occured in 2008, it's now 2012 and I am still being penalized for my actions of long ago. I have Graduated college with a Masters Degree however I am not able to get a qualified job because of my felony. I am asking that felons recieve a chance just as those who commit crimes and don't get caught. We need a chance to make it in this economy or you might has well kept felons locked up. We have done our Crime and asked for forgivness, and then we have done our time and been released. Mr. President and Congress give us a chance to provide for ourselves as well as our future families Please. Something has to give, can't get a job and can't even fight for our country at wits end Mr. President; Somebody Help!
