"Underlying all freedoms is justice, and freedom of access is no exception. A right of access to Internet technology is the necessary foundation for these freedoms."

My comment in the discussion about MayFirst PeopleLink's promotional palm card.

More than two percent of otherwise eligible-to-vote citizens of the United States of America are denied the right to vote for felony convictions.

In total numbers and in the political tendencies of the disenfranchised, that's about the same as denying Jews the vote in the U.S.

in 1998 "an estimated 3.9 million U.S. citizens are disenfranchised, including over one million who have fully completed their sentences."
