Since i can't vote yet i will say Benny is right about how you will have to get it done .
Asking a Governor to grant a pardon is for people who are in jail or on death row what you want to do is get a misdemenor expunged from you record and a judge is the only one who can do it .
And you have the right idea about bringing in folks who can say yes you are a good person and deserve a break

I spent 20 months in prison in Okla-coma and yes you do have to get a pardon from the Governor only if you have served time in prison, not probation.

good luck...its worth a shot but usually the gov has a stack of pardon requests and only grants a handfull a yr. you would possibly have a better chance at going to the court and request an expungement.

Hell, go for a Presidential Pardon. That way, just in case you murdered someone in another state by accident, it would be pardoned as well.

The best way for you to do this is to actually get a lawyer to do this. He'll know exactly what forms to fill out and send. Best of luck to you.
