Probably a violent/illegal substance/sex crime or any felony. Then again this is Oregon we're talking about.

Here's a good place to look.  Your state should have a sexual offender registry online too that you can check out.

I thought they could vote once they are off probation or parole for the offense?

Get involved with campaigns. Join the young ________s in your area. They will start you out putting up posters, registering voters and raising funds, unless you have connections.\n\nOh, almost forgot, have your morals surgically removed.

Pass a fricking meaningful law on: immigration, government spending, energy policy, welfare reform, congressional ethics, or health care.

This happens because we allow it to happen. We need to let the elected officials know we want an end to this insanity. The reason the 18 year old is convicted is because in the state they live in, it is illegal for a 16 year old to have sex. There are some states that will convict both teens of sexual assault against each other if they are both 16 and the Age of Consent for that state is 17. Therefore, they become both the sex offender and the victim. We are allowing this country to do this. We are allowing them to have it any way they want it and we must stop it!

Hell yeah. How can you vote for someone who believes the law shouldn't be enforced? Or that lawbreakers should be given a gift instead of punished?

Oregon already has mail in ballots. With today's technology, the Internet is too open to hacking and fraud for online voting.

I do not think gay marriage or abortion should be made illegal.  I am simply an economic conservative and morally apathetic.  I believe drugs should be decriminalized and marijuana legalized.  I think the drinking age should be lowered as it serves to curb binge drinking, alcoholism and drunk driving, as people become accustomed to drinking earlier in life and it does not gain the "forbidden fruit" aura.  I am economically conservative, however, and feel that taxes show be dramatically lowered, the welfare state shrunken, and national security buffed up.  I feel that my moral stances make me different from many conservatives

The first few posters don't have a clue as to what they're talking about - strictly speaking from the emotions rather than from logic. Because California has been registering sex offenders since 1947 and Megan's List goes back to 1944, the felony sex offenders who did molest children did their offenses WAY back (like 40 years ago) and we don't think it proper to put someone in state prison for life for child molesting (25 years, but not life). And since California has something like 107 different offenses that qualify someone for a sex offender in this state, many of these are felony sex offenders, but the majority are not child molesters.\n\nI wonder when society is going to realize that a sex offender is an offender but not necessarily a child molester or child rapist. \n\nAlso some of you stated that they should clear out the petty thieves and place the sex offenders back into prison. Ever hear of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights? Ex post facto? Do these concepts ring a bell with anyone?  Once you have paid the consequences at the time of sentencing, the government cannot re-arrest you to pay additional consequences for the same offense. \n\nI seriously doubt if the GPS requirement will go through. The state currently has 1,000 high risk sex offendes on GPS. This initiative is talking about placing 80,000 anklets on felony sex offenders. The cost is astronomical and seriously limited technologically. The California Department of Corrections has a hard enough time handling the 1,000. Multiply that by 80 and it's nearly impossible.  \n\nTwo other considerations - the state has not had an epidemic of sexual offending by strangers, never has. Most of these stranger danger cases have happened in other states and opportunistic politicians (Sharon and George Runner, sponsors of 83) have taken advantage of the public hysteria. We do have interfamilial child sex abuse cases, as do all states. Yet GPS will not work within homes. Expensive and useless technology.\n\nThe other consideration - the politicians who were up for reelection wanted 83, the public wants it, but the experts who deal with the problem day in and day out (parole agents, the California Coalition on Sex Offending, CALCASA (84 sexual assault advocacy centers), and many, many others thought it was a red herring. \n\nIt's hardly a liberal judge thing letting people out of prison. If anything, California is a punitive state when it comes to criminal justice system. But our prisons are extremely overcrowded. We just went on a prison building spree to build spaces for 100,000 prisoners in the past 20 years; we now have 173,000 in state prison alone. The feds have threatened to take it over. This propsotion will just add to the problem and may be the tipping point to a federal take over. \n\nYou reap what you sow. California has been in a get tough on crime for a long time, but the taxpayers don't want to pay the bill. something's got to give.
