My main reason is just to have an adequate job where I don't have to struggle as much. Right now I work as a roofer, a small guy like me. Everyone that works around me is a giant. But I have been there every day, and I am not going to miss a day, with or without this pardon. A pardon will allow me to run around with the family I will someday have, instead of walking with a crutch. I would be better able to provide for them. So I need to get pardoned for what I have done, and I need that for myself as well.
