Lawyer Mama, tell me I am not alonein this...<BR/><BR/>LOL<BR/><BR/>Actually, in Texas, ex-cons DO have the right to vote, as of 1997 courtesy of W.<BR/><BR/>They just do not know it, and many do not understand the right. Thus, they are afraid and many have heard they do NOT have the right. I tis confusing because it varies by state. In fact, right now a man in Arizona is facing 5 years of jail for voting in 2004, when he thought he could, but couldn't.<BR/><BR/>Jenn I am the same way about the same crime.<BR/><BR/>LawyerMama, let's ditch the men and kids and run away together to BlogHer. ;)Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-84266065836105165282007-06-01T09:19:00.000-05:002007-06-01T09:19:00.000-05:00Really interesting.

By hobby only though. :)<BR/><BR/>But seriously, you guys know I had to look up a lot of this info to refresh my memory and get details (such as dates) correct. I do not walk around with these facts on the tip of my tongue.<BR/><BR/>My gosh, tonight I'm siting there chatting with friends and blank of my friend's last name and middle kids names! LOL<BR/><BR/>**<BR/><BR/>Chani, amen, no bulldogs yapping around.<BR/><BR/>Except.<BR/><BR/>Child molestors. I am very not nice, very yapping at the heels bulldog about that. Unfair? Uncool? Maybe. We all have flaws. ;)<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Christine, Perry is so not logical or smart. I'm afraid I can't help but wonder WTF as far as him getting re-elected. And again.<BR/><BR/>Tell your hubby to feel free to weigh in. :)<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>SM, What can one say about Perry? Oh a LOT, I'm afraid. None of it in line with my desire to be kind, diplomatic, and PG rated. ;) Sometimes I remember I live in the Republic and I can't help but...well, yeah, sigh.Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-10737486188226980232007-05-31T19:08:00.000-05:002007-05-31T19:08:00.000-05:00Impressive, Julie.

Guess Perry is neither of these. Jeez.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and are you sure you aren't actually a historian?
