Many Americans are unemployed or hold low paying jobs due to felony convictions. I am petitioning on behalf of this population of people to have the opportunity to better their lives and the lives of their families. Often times, people receive their felony conviction/s at a young age due to immaturity, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or peer influences. As these people mature, their felony conviction/s consistently acts as a barrier for these people to improve in areas like education, housing options, and employment. I am petitioning the Obama administration to knock down this barrier and allow these people to have the opportunity to live the American dream.
