Senator Vitter Passes 'No Food Stamps For Murderers And Rapists' Amendment to Farm Bill
The amendment was agreed to by unanimous consent. Thank God we can all agree that taxpayers shouldn't be forced to feed murderers, rapists, and pedophiles.

No food stamps and no voting for them!
independence card = ineligibility to vote.
This should have been in effect from the beginning. And I strongly agree with 8:20pm: Independence card = ineligibility to vote, especially if they are lifers.
