The Civil Rights Restoration Center

"Supreme Court Turns Down Historic Voting Rights Case"

"Florida is one of only three states that strip all citizens with past felony convictions of their civil and voting rights for life unless the state government restores these rights by petition."

"Over 600,000 people are disenfranchised from voting in Florida."

In Florida the loss of these rights can create emotional, financial and professional circumstances that MAY negatively impact your life forever.
Fact: Termination of a person’s civil rights effectively halts them from exercising all voting privileges and disenfranchises the person from having an opinion that can be expressed through the democratic electoral process.
Fact: If your civil rights have been suspended you cannot hold a public office in the State of Florida.
Fact: A person that has lost his civil rights is barred from serving on a jury.
Fact: The loss of your civil rights may stop you from returning to active employment in certain industries and completely bar you from seeking professional licensing required form many regulated careers.
