They are trying to take away our Constitutional right to vote regardless of being a criminal or not that is our right

So, felons should be able to own guns too? After all, that's a constitutional right as well. Try serving your sentence first.

Just because you're incarcerated they're still citizens of the United States and we should not take that away from them constitutionally

This is about the stupidest law I have ever seen Liberal Democrats come up with. Just another way for Democrats to continue destroying Oregon. It's all about gaining more Democratic voters. Shame on all of you.

Regardless of your criminal status you're taking away the constitutional right of civilians and that's not okay they have the right to vote regardless

The government wants to take away many of the freedoms and rights of law abiding citizens, and now they want to give criminals the right to Vote. This says a lot about the lack of moral compass and lack of integrity In our government.

Absolutely no. They lost their rights when they committed a crime. This is just another stupid politically motivated law.

Prisoners should not have the right to vote. They already had made a bad choice in life. We are already facing state and government problems without their vote. I dont need any criminal choosing whats best for us and our children.

Absolutely not! They lost that right when they broke the law. Plus, I'm pretty sure their voting rights are restored after they serve their sentence.

They are incarcerated & should NOT BE ALLOWED WHILE THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE. A dumb ideal!! They can vote when They are out and a part of society.

One of the consequences of being a scourge of society is you loose your right to vote. Keep it that way.

Of course not, that is absurd. Criminals, illegal aliens, non citizens, thats bizarre nonsense. The leftest D A s are letting dangerous criminal back on the streets before their trials, this is insane, and twisted. A criminal waives those rights when committing a crime, period!

When a person commits a felony they have demonstrated that they cannot function in a civil society and therefore forfeit their right to vote. This looks like another Democrat attempt to harvest votes.

Criminals have lost that privilege! It's outrageous to consider giving that back to them. We need proper law-abiding citizens to help guide this country, not criminals!

Voting is a privilege; a privilege properly exercised at the voting booth, not from a prison cell. States have a significant interest in reserving the vote for those who have abided by the social contract that forms the foundation of a representative democracy. We are talking about rapists, murderer

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
