Wake up America! It is time to for us to protect the young people of this nation. Youths of all races can not get arrested on any charges without facing a life long sentence. They are young and do not understand the ramification of their immature actions. The youth of American lose all civil liberties such as: the right to vote, the right to attend college, the right to enter into rental agreements as well as the opportunity to gain employment causing them to become repeat offenders. LAWS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE THAT MAKES THEM PAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. They are not given a chance to grow. Please sign this petition! Youthful mistakes shouldn't be a life long punishment. We need to take action now! The purpose of this petition is to change the repeat offender law for petty crime and restoration of rights for our youth! Thank You Dawn E. Colbert
