Amendment Confusion

The Pros and Cons of Amendments on the Nov 6 Ballot







Join us on Wednesday, Sept. 12 for Hot Topics when experts will examine some of the proposed Constitutional Amendments on the November ballot. The 12 - possibly 13 - proposals is the longest list on a ballot since 1998. In some cases three or four disparate proposals have been linked together in one amendment. Proposals range from restoring ex-felons rights to school board term limits. Several groups, including the League, have filed suit to get some amendments taken off the ballot.            

    
The experts are:

Veteran journalist Mike Lafferty (moderator)

University of Central Florida Associate Political Science Professor
Aubrey Jewett


Ninth Judicial Circuit Public Defender Robert Wesley




Larry Hopkins a lay minister at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Eatonville will discuss the importance of Amendment 4 - restoring felons rights.



Rachel Sines
  a survivor of sexual assault following a 2007 home invasion, will speak in support of Amendment 6 at the Wednesday Hot Topics on Amendment Confusion. Her attacker was eventually given four life sentences.  Rachel believes speaking out takes back the power from the attacker. 



And a late addition to the panel:
Tiffany Moore Russell speaking on Amendment 10
