I agree that should be addressed.

Can you imagine the expense and paperwork involved if we had a system where a person could "apply to have first class citizenship restored"?? Who would make that judgement call? Whoever would it would involve a lot of expense.

The cost of the hearing could be assumed by the one applying to be restored to first class citizenship. How costly the process might be would probably be dependent on how complicated a situation it was.
But please, even if we used taxpayer dollars... we certainly waste them on lesser things everyday than restoring someone who has genuinely turned their life around... Have you had a peek at where the money really goes lately? 
God actually gave everything to restore us to the full citizenship of heaven, I am not sure how we as Christians could do any less.

Re: Should Felons Be Allowed To Vote ?
In my opinion, after a felon has paid his debt to society, he should be allowed to vote, own property, work, get married, run for office, etc.

Re: Should Felons Be Allowed To Vote ?
Why should a felon who has paid his debt (prison) not be allowed to vote?
