If you’ve ever had to apply for a job with a major corporation or diligent company, you may have run in to a segment of your application process that asks you to state whether or not you’ve been convicted of a felony.
Now Barrack Obama wants to eliminate that portion of the process entirely as a means to ease the transition from prison to private life.
“Ban the box,” the checkbox you’re prompted to answer when asked this question, is the slogan being touted by Democrats to support criminals in attaining employment. They can’t force private companies to do it, but you can expect your next visit to the DMV to be a little more intimidating.
With this one action, Obama can being employing felons, you know, those who are capable of enforcing his orders by inflicting pain on others…
See how Obama is helping criminals on page 2.
I mean we vote for them
what about the middle class Americans that are unemployed? not fair and I’m getting sick of this sh*t
Obama is a champion for criminals, thugs, bomb hoaxers illegals and infiltrating muslims,. Who knew??? We all know !!! Is it too late?? Please Lord, we need you do bad in our country. Only divine intervention can reverse this poser’s evil plan.

You think just because we went to prison we are bad people and do not deserve a job? I am a retired Army Officer with 21 years of service and 6 combat tours. I was arrested as a first time offender for growing my own medical marijuana to treat my PTSD and chronic pain I got serving this country. The state of Alabama placed me on a $3 million bond so I never saw the light of day until I was released from prison 6 years later. The state stole everything I owned. My farm, 2 cars I paid for serving in Afghanistan, wiped out my bank account and retirement funds leaving me 100% homeless once I got out of their 200% capacity prison system. I served 6 years on a 10 year sentence for manufacturing of a controlled substance class A felony. Once out I had no money and no place to go so I tried to get food stamps and was told I can never get food stamps in Alabama because I am now a convicted drug offender yet they give food stamps to child molesters, murders and people who rob people. I was 47 years old when I was arrested and have never needed help from my state but now they turn their back on me. Hell I can’t even find a job since I am a 54 year old felon on parole. Is this what the people of this state call justice? Who did I victimize? Is this the actions of a free nation? I am NOT a criminal I am a veteran who fought for this country and whose only crime was growing my own medical marijuana to treat my PTSD and chronic pain. I wonder what our Founding Fathers would say. Keep in mind most grew hemp and distilled their own whiskey. Again WHO DID I VICTIMIZE? You thinkI do not deserve a job? Really?
Despite how unjust this seems for you it still goes back to the fact that you violated a law you knew was in effect. You’re paying an out of proportion cost for that but the fact remains. The lesson for you and to everyone is that if you don’t agree with the law, work hard t get it changed but violate it at your own risk. At this point there is little you can do other than try to live somewhere that has a more relaxed attitude toward pot convictions than AL does. I wish you well and hope you can find a support group to help you get back into society despite your mistake and record. “Expecting life to be fair because you’re a good person is like expecting the bull not to charge because you’re a vegetarian.” You’ve been dealt an unfair situation. I hope you can get past this and re-establish a good life for yourself.
And he just released 6000 + that were incarcerated for over 9 years. My guess is that they were in for something more substantial than “j” walking
But, I thought they were already working in the Obamacare customer service department, handling personal information.
Peter, I am so sorry for the way you have been treated! You did not deserve it!
Employers should know about criminals and be able to know the crime they committed! You wouldn’t want to put child molesters to work in or around a school and Obama is even including release of murderers! There are certain jobs this kind of hardened criminals should not have!!
This country leads the world in locking people up. Many here feel they do not deserve a job once out of prison. I read some of your post and think how ignorant you are. If a person once out of prison and wants to be a law abiding citizen but cant get a job you are guaranteeing they will return to crime just to eat and have a place to live. Would you rather they be on welfare? You call this the actions of a free nation?
Treason for obumba. Treason.Take back our country.
