H.R. 623: Second Chance Act for Ex-Offenders

This is the bill that Rep. Rangel of NY submitted in 2007, it died in committee. I just spoke with his DC office and they plan to resubmit next week for this session. It will be given a new number, and keep the same title, just the year will change. Once he has submitted it, we need to contact our representatives and encourge them to co-sponsor it. You can read the full text at

Once the new version is presented I will post the new title and number.

I am so happy that this is being re-introduced. We all have to do everything possible to have our representatives support this bill. This may be the only hope for all of our families to return to our normal lives when our guys are through with their time and supervised release. Thanks so much LeeAnn for contacting them.
