Reason for Seeking a Pardon:
I am seeking a pardon for better employment opportunities. In the past, while convicted of a felony, I was denied employment at Home Depot and Amazon because of the felony conviction. While I realize the pardon does not erase the conviction, it may help me in future employment opportunities.

I also wish to restore previous global entry for traveling purposes as well as TSA clearance. I can wait two more years to apply for TSA clearance or request a pardon before then. Since I no longer can write scripts for controlled substances and do not have a medical license to prescribe medications, it follows that the past behavior (which occurred once during a manic episode) can not be repeated in the future. I have paid my debt to society, and wish to have certain rights restored as mentioned above.
