      <description><![CDATA[Anonymous, La Quinta, CA, United States of America<p>Back ground checks are just another way to continue to punish someone who has already done their time. How are felons supposed to make a living and stay out of jail if they can&#039;t get a job? Background checks are a witch hunt that continues to punish a felon over and over again.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Danylle Fleming, Fort Myers, FL, United States of America<p>I think laws need to be passed to prohibit employers from turning someone away for work , solely on the basis of background. Yes, their are people who have made mistakes in their lives, but many have learned from their mistakes and would like a chance to lead a normal life. How can one CHANGE if they are not given the opportunity to live right in society.Once a person has paid there debt to society I feel they should be given a fair chance to rehebilitate their self.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[MR Antonio Ray, denton, texas, United States of America<p>I believe they should stop the unnecessary judging on background checks a lot of people has done things and later changed from old  bad ways or was in situations that got them in trouble . I&#039;m a prime example. I&#039;ve changed my life and doing better  and different things for myself, it took me over a year. How can a person better themselves if no one gives them a chance?</p>]]></description>
