desmond meade he joins us from tallahassee. thank you for being with us.t by telling us your story, how you lost the right to vote and now what you're doing about it. >> amy, thank you for having me on today. back in 2005, i found myself standing in front of railroad tracks in south florida. at the time i was homeless, unemployed, recently released from prison, addicted to drugs and alcohol. i see no hope. i did not have a future. so i thought. i was waiting on the train to come so i could jump in front of it in and buy life. fortunately, the train did not come and i crossed those tracks. i checked myself into a rehabilitation program, treatment program and after graduating from that, i went to a homeless shelter. while living there, i enrolled at one of the local colleges. miami-dade college. i enrolled in the paralegal program. after successfully completing that program, i continued on. i received my bachelors. today, i am now three months away from graduating from law school at florida international university college of law. >> congratulations. will yo
