Sen. Rand Paul calls for restoring felons' voting, gun rights
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul told a largely black audience Monday in Louisville that he will push to restore the voting and gun-ownership rights of felons who have completed their sentences — and he will urge state Senate Republicans to follow his lead.
“I am in favor of letting people get their rights back, the right to vote ... Second Amendment rights, all your rights to come back,” he said. “I know of one man who 30-some-odd years ago had pot plants in his closet in college, got a felony conviction in college, still can’t vote, and it’s plagued him his whole life trying to get work.”
The Republican’s comments came at the Plymouth Community Renewal Center in western Louisville as he spoke with community leaders about issues that affect African Americans. Additionally, as he has done in the past, he called for doing away with mandatory minimum sentences in the federal criminal justice system, saying they are often too harsh.

that . Only a moron would arm convicted felons. Hes just sucking black in hopes of getting the black vote
you sound like a racist that wants to keep the black man down.
Damm Rand....Next time he will come out for free cell phones, free rent and food stamps for everyone.
No, you have it ass backwards.
He's right. , an ounce of weed was a felony in the 70's. Lots of good solid citizens out there with records. Might want to limit it to non-violent felonies, though.
Youve got it ass backwards, I want Cons to live with the consequences of their actions, no matter what race..especially those with any convictions deemed violent. And if you don't realize that politicians craft their speeches for their particular audiences, then you should probably not be so quick to judge.
FL and other red states deny felons from voting to keep blacks from voting. Another form of Jim Crow
You're a racist. Rand Paul will stamp out racism whether you like it or not.
So does Rand Paul
RP said that businessess should be "free" to refuse service to, eg, blacks.
No, Rand did not say that, Rand opposes Jim Crow laws.

Republican Senator Rand Paul Wants To Reinstate Voting Rights For Black Men (VIDEO)
This might come as a shock to those of you who are caught up in the left-right paradigm of politics, but Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has taken a bold stand in the fight for civil rights of previously convicted felons.
In a recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee, Rand Paul has spoken out against strict mandatory minimum sentences that disproportionally effect minorities, while also advocating for reinstating voting rights & gun ownership rights for those who have served their time.
Paul is widely considered as the Republican front-runner for the 2016 Presidential ticket.

Rand Paul, a Prisoner’s Best Friend?
Whatever you think of Rand Paul or his motives, current and former prison inmates— who are nobody’s cons uency and possess zero lobbying power—have rarely had as impassioned a champion in Congress.

I don't know about terpitude either. I definitely think that the punishment that has been administered because of US drug policy needs to be revisited especially for non- violent offenders. Grand larceny not so much.
You are a moron for making ASSumptions. I have said nothing racist. Oh and Rand Paul couldnt stamp an envelope. Galileo is spinning in his grave seeing such a judgemental dolt using his name.
I AM Galileo! I was cloned from Galileo's finger!
Then there must be some kind of Multiplicity thing going on for obvious reasons. Or there was a lot of poop on that finger.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said on Thursday that Republicans have been “winning” recent Washington battles and laid out a roadmap for how the party can use the victories to appeal to key voting blocks that fueled President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election
by winning Washington battles, he's referring to the GOP civil war that's tearing his party apart.
“Who is probably the least likely to protect your privacy among Democrats? Hillary Clinton,” Paul added. (He did not specify why he thought the former secretary of state would be so vulnerable on this issue.
On Thursday, Paul said making it an issue for Republicans to campaign on can help win over another demographic that Obama dominated in 2012 – African Americans.
This from the guy who questioned the Civil Rights Act on The Rachel Maddow Show... and then denied he ever did:
But here's the money quote:
Rand Paul:
Does anybody remember Charlie Sheen when he was kind of going crazy… And he was going around, jumping around saying, "Winning, winning, we’re winning." Well I kind of feel like that, we are winning. And I’m not on any drugs.
That's debatable.
Yes, Rand Paul thought it was a good idea to compare the GOP to Charlie Sheen... the cringe-worthy, wackadoodle guy on drugs who was losing.
And Paul wants American voters to trust him to be their next president. Good luck with that, genius. And thank you for playing:
