Virginia strick hiring policies only hurt Virginia and add to Stigma of peers in/out of recovery
 

Impact of Criminal Convictions, Impairment and Past History on Licensure, Certification or Registration. Department of Health Professions:  It is a shame that so many of our neighboring states have taken up the mantle of Community Inclustion and continue to bypass our state in areas of family building and community wholeness that far exceeds our state that has a banner of being a state of love and for lovers. 

I have fought tooth and nail through my organization and personal life to assist others in believing that there is a place for them in their own dreams.  The hoplessness is reveiled year after year though in the turn out during elections, when so many choose not to go out and vote because they just don't believe things will ever get better for them.  (Employment, family, race, culture, education, monatary)
