[QUOTE="Star*, post: 242745, member: 4964"] The petition I signed did not release ALL felons. Just wanted to clear that up. It was supposed to be (thinking) 15 or 20 years clean and you could apply for expongement. Anything that was considered a violent crime was not blanketed under it's writing. I'm also the victim of a sexually violent crime, so I would never even consider that a "get out of jail free" deal. This was written for those that were convicted of non-violent crimes. ANd I almost didn't sign it because it said non-violent crimes like drug abuse. My life and Dude's life were turned upside down and inside out by drugs and it was ALL violent - so I have to really watch how I phrase myself regarding drug crimes. They interviewed a lot of homeless men who wanted help and would go and were going to AA or NA and they said that they stole and did stupid stuff that got them a felony lable. Now 20 years later? They're older and more mellow, haven't reoffended in years and would like a chance to work instead of being homeless. Hope this clears up any misconceptions or omissions I made........ [/QUOTE]
