It takes a lot of hard work to overcome a mistake that leads to a felony conviction but it should not be made impossible.

No one is saying they cannot be productive members of society. They just lose their right to vote and own firearms.
Can you imagine the expense and paperwork involved if we had a system where a person could "apply to have first class citizenship restored"?? Who would make that judgement call? Whoever would it would involve a lot of expense.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
