Posted on | March 11, 2010 | No Comments

Many American’s were against the Vietnam War. At the time of the draft, the baby boomers were at the center of the draft. Sentiment was that the draft was unfair because the rich and the well educated could escape the draft. Many young people left to go to Canada. The United States prosecuted people who avoided the draft.

President Ford issue conditional amnesty to draft dodgers once the war ended. In 1977, President Carter issued full amnesty to all Vietnam era draft dodgers.

According to experts at the time, some 50,000 draft dodgers remained in Canada even after Carter’s full amnesty.

Regular folks can't imagine that the President would actually consider their pardon application let alone grant them a pardon. That's not how it works. The Department of Justice reviews the federal pardon application and carefully scrutinizes it. Only after the pardon application gets past the DOJ, does the President's staff even get involved. That is why it is so important to have an experienced pardon attorney author your application so the application has a chance with the Department of Justice.

"My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out. " -Ronald Reagan
