I...Hello Mr. Griffin,<BR/><BR/>My name is Rachael Scandarion. I am a Florida volunteer building a grassroots effort that identifies and engages both disenfranchised and RCR ex-offenders statewide in Registering to Vote. <BR/><BR/>I have obtained a database list of ex-offenders from the Florida Parole Commission that has 345,000 names of RCR Clemencies granted through 7.25.08. <BR/><BR/>While this database does not contain phone or address contacts for the listings, it does have name, DOB, Executive Order #'s, and date clemency granted. <BR/><BR/>I need help in expeditiously identifying a means by which to cross-reference the names on this list with other databases of contact info: phone numbers, street addresses, whatever means are possible to contact those on the database.<BR/><BR/>I have a substantial base of volunteers who are ready to help make contact with the intent of holding ceremonies, where these citizens of our country are re-engaged throughout Florida in a day of statewide events that will celebrate their restoration of rights as citizens with dignity and respect and to provide them with the opportunity to Register to Vote - much like naturalization ceremonies for those becoming citizens. <BR/><BR/>For obvious reasons, time is of the essence in this matter in order to ensure that they are all registered in time to be a part of this most critical general election. Could you please contact me at your soonest convenience and advise me if you can assist me or if you know of another organization or individual who can help me.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. I remain,<BR/>Very Truly Yours,<BR/>Rachael Scandarion<BR/><BR/>"We Must Be The Change We Wish To See In The World." <BR/>~ M.

I have worked with ex-offenders and MOST do not know many states <B>will restore</B> voting rights of ex-offenders in some situations. I encourage all ex-offenders to pursue all steps necessary to regain voting rights, even if it means moving to a state that will permit it. Remaining politically disenfranchised for LIFE should not be an option that <B>any person</B> will accept.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for this post!<BR/><BR/><I>You are always welcome to stop by my blog and share whenever and whatever you would like!
