I've been working, and taking responsibility, my whole adult life.
I've never been on welfare, food stamps, or unemployment.  Other than
that one time 28 years ago, I've never been in the slightest trouble
with the law, not even a traffic ticket.  Nor have I ever been sued.

Can you say the same?

I'm an ex-con winner who's confident enough of his value to employers,
and who cares enough about helping people at risk of false conviction,
that for over ten years I've risked mentioning that I'm a convicted
felon on my home page -- the first thing any potential employer who
does a Google search on me will find.

It's not something to be ashamed of.  There are millions of us.  I
wish more would have the courage to come out of the closet as I have.
