Jul 2013

who have had their voting rights trampled, if they get in the jury pool somehow should refuse to go.. it's only fair. Been called up on a jury 4-5 times in a decade. never was called before I moved near Waterloo IA. And I always loved going however was called around February - March this year and I'm suffering from severe Depression . Walk outside nobody would ever know it but if you know me it's pretty bad. I was let off the Jury Call. Message from my Psychiatrist and the fact that I wasn't sure if it would cause harm to the process. ie I'm not sure if I'd be fair and impartial because I'm not thinking straight. Should I be prevented from voting. Um no one has that right. Usually not much required to vote. Although I have no intentions of voting for Hillary.
