Criminal Justice
Submitted by progressive1982 on Thu, 06/02/2016 - 12:04amI was looking at the Issues pages of both Bernie and Hillary today. Hillary has a Criminal Justice issues page. I didn't see one for Bernie, but I did see a Racial Justice page. So what do these two pages together have to offer as ideas for justice for all?
From Hillary's page, we should:
End Mass Incarceration
Reform Mandatory Minimum Sentencing
Help rehabilitate individuals leaving prison to better reintegrate into society

And I'm willing to bet many of those same folks tried to do as I have: Got college degrees, tried to find work and at the end of the day, none of it really ever worked out. I honestly haven't had a single interview in almost 3 years. Maybe it's more than that now. Frankly I'm at the point where I no longer give a damn and I'm sure I'm not alone.

We upgraded our server a couple of weeks ago, you may have noticed the improvement in performance. This upgrade was just a stop gap measure though as we still plan to move to yet a larger one as funds allow. This is your donations in action folks. These graphs will help to further explain the need for server expansion. I thank any and all who have donated to the cause, you know who you are. Thank you very much.
