It is not Left versus Right -- it is Liberty versus Tyranny.
I believe that every Right should be up upheld (through education) and violators of Natural Rights should be fully punished.
As far as those in prison, and restoration of Rights, WE are paying an enormous amount of money representing and incarcerating millions of innocent people over stupid laws that the government illegally imposes, one example being marijuana, among hundreds of other things.
The problem becomes, once in prison, they are mandated to "Check a Box" on a job application, which discriminates somebody from actually wanting to work in order to not live off of the system. This also affects their ability to rent, apply for a personal/business loan, etc. Without an opportunity to work and earn a wage, they are most certainly guaranteed to return to the streets only to be picked up by "Law Enforcement" and sent back to prison again.
I do not care about who started this campaign, but IMO it will lead to more people working and less living off of the system. Once we tackle that problem, we can move to the next:
