The Legacy Fellowship of Churches and Ministries held its conference in Tampa this summer. One of its events was a Political Forum to hear from several invited candi- dates. Among the items for discussion was Amendment 4.
On the sample ballot, Amendment 4 is listed as “Voting Restoration Amend- ment.” It reads, “This amendment restores the vot- ing rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation...”
“We’re inviting ministers, preachers, citizens, candi-

dates, so that we can put to- gether some strategy these last few days before early vot- ing begins. We want people to know what this Amend- ment is saying and how im- portant it is to vote in favor of it to ensure that those who have paid their dues to soci- ety will be able to vote as other citizens,” Bishop Lewis said.
