My petition is for non violent offenders who have minor felonies to have the right to defend themselves against opression and crime. The fact the word felon puts individuals in a group that most law abiding citizens see as scum or hard crimiinals, jobs are limited and so are alot of other opportunity. I find it unfair that a person who is not deemed a threat or violent should not have to wait 5 or 10 years to apply for a chance to get rights restored. Society is putting labels on everyone based apon 1 or 2 similarities between the group of people. I feel as well as others that we should treat individuals separately. Non violent felons should not have to wait 5 or 10 minutes for responders if they have intruders in there homes or if they are being mugged or being attacked. Thank you.
