This petition is being Started to Gain 1,000,000 Signatures to support that Discrimination against Felons be added to the Anti-Discrimination Law currently in Effect, If you are a Felon you may have been Affected by Discrimination, As you know 95% of Jobs have a Question on their Application asking if you have ever been Convicted of a Felony, Once this box is Checked there is about a 10% chance of Employment with the Company in Question, Most times though the Felons are overlooked and Loose out on Great jobs. There is currently Anti-Discrimination laws that prohibit Company's from discrimination based on Race, Sex, Religion, Etc.... I would like to get Felony's/Law Violations added to this List, I myself made 1 Mistake in my life, I am a Great guy but have been Discriminated on because of my Felony, This has got to Change! I AM CALLING ALL WHOLE HEARTED AMERICAN'S WHO CAN ACCEPT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DO CHANGE TO SIGN THIS PETITION!

Its time to stop punishing people forever. Everyone makes mistakes and they deserve a fair shot at a decent job to support their families too.
