the son of Mother Rosa

raised her children to be
God loving citizens. Her
daughter sister Shirley
Weaver raised her chil-
dren in the same manner.
Shown above is her son
young bro. Weaver, who

and got the dog off of

Constitutional Amendment on
November Ballot
RALEIGH
When North Carolina voters go
to the polls on November 5, they
will find more than candidates T
names on their ballots. They also
will be voting on whether to
make a small but significant
amendment to the Constitution
of North Carolina.
The 2001 General Assembly
approved a measure (Session
Law 2001-217) that will make a
technical correction in how the
Legislature transfers property to
the state Nature and Historic
Preserve, if approved by voters
this fall. The North Carolina
Constitution establishes a State
Nature and Historic Preserve as
a means to preserve park, recrea-
tional, and scenic areas, as well
as other natural and historic
resources. .
The proposed amendment to
Article XIV, Section 5 of the
North Carolina Constitution
would allow the General
Assembly to accept property
into the Preserve by enacting a
bill, rather than passing a joint
resolution. Under the present
constitutional arrangement, the
General Assembly must approve
a joint resolution to accept a
piece of property into the
Preserve. However, lawmakers
must then also pass a separate
legislative bill to codify and
make the resolution legally bind-
ing. The proposed change would
allow the General Assembly to
accept property into the Preserve
by approving bills that could
automatically become law after
passage. The proposed amend-
ment would not change three-
fifths majority vote required for
the General T Asssenbly- a aueape
property into the Preserve,
NC Secretary of State Elaine F.
Marshall, ae
Constitutional Amendments
Publication Commission, says
the technical amendment would
help streamline the legislative
process. "This would shorten
and simplify the process of
transferring property into the
State Nature and historic
Preserve- a two-step process
would be made a single step
process," said Marshall. :So the
voters are asked in this matter if
they choose to cut red tape, or to
leave it as is."
Each county board of elections
office has been provided an
official explanation of the pro-
posed amendment that can be
made available to voters.
Also, for the first time, each
county will receive a copy of the
explanation of the amendment
translated into Braille for visu-
ally impaired voters.

Ex-Offender Voting
Rights
A vibrant democracy seeks electoral participation
by all members of a community and involves
citizens of all backgrounds.
Today, however, nearly 4 million citizens in the
United States are denied the franchise by virtue
of their status as ex-offenders. A starkly dispropor-
tionate number of minorities, particularly African
American males, are thus denied voting rights.
Nearly 14 percent of African American males are
denied the right to vote.
While different states set different rules for enfran-
chisement of ex-offenders (from Vermont and
Maine allowing individuals to vote while in prison,
to states like Florida, Alabama and Mississippi,
where ex-offenders are essentially disenfranchised
for life), overall, there is a crisis in this country.
We believe ex-offenders should have the right to
vote restored upon release from prison. Studies
show that one of the best indicators of whether an
individual will vote is whether their parents vote
- and children of ex-offenders should not be put
at an even greater disadvantage. State legislatures
should encourage ex-offenders to become as in-
volved in the fabric of community as possible and
thus, should restore voting rights and instill a
greater sense of social responsibility.
