Mark and I spoke last night and came up with three avenues we could use to pursue this.
1. Contact the point person for Rep. Davis D-IL and see if they would entertain the idea of combining the "Good Time Bill and Second Chance Act for Ex-Offenders".
2. Start a letter writting campaign to ex-offends of public notoriety. IE; G Gordon Liddy, Rep. Andrew J. Hinshaw, R-Calif., Rep. Charles Diggs Jr., D-Mich., Rep. Michael Myers, D-Pa., Rep. John Murphy of New York, Frank Thompson of New Jersey, John Jenrette of New Jersey, Raymond Lederer of South Carolina, Rep. Mario Biaggi, D-N.Y., Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-Ill.,
Rep. Walter Tucker III, D-Calif., Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., Marion Jones, Richard Hatch, Wesley Snipes, just to name a few.
3. To emphasize that by giving the millions of ex-offenders a second chance at sucessful careers the tax base would increase dramitically.
If anyone has contact with Rep Davis's office let me know so you can become our "point person" on this.
If everyone would start collecting names of ex-offenders, try to find a contact address or email address, send them to me I will put them in a document and get it out to everyone.
Does anyone want to draft a letter for us to use as a templete or example?
Lets get to work! The wheels of our governement turn VERY slowly, so we need to start today!

LeeAnn,
I can work on a letter for you to use as an example to be used in your letter-writng campaign. Just let me know if that's ok.
Betsy
AWESOME! Thank you!
Of those of you that live in Illinois who would be willing to contact Rep Davis' office? Are any of you a constituent of his?
Richard Hatch??? The same one that's in M'town? My husband was his roommate until last week.
