Since I can't post a new thread and can't post attachments, how do I get some new information out. I haven't been posting here for that reason. It's like only being allowed to stay inside a box. This article appeared in the Texas Tribune on April 6. It appears that several individuals wanting passports lacked birth certificates and claimed discrimination because they were born with midwives. As a result, officials will be demanding additional information for passports to be given.



Feds Mull Circumcision Inquiries for Passports
by Julian Aguilar 4/6/2011

"Were you circumcised at birth and was it a part of a religious ceremony? If so,
who was there and why? Do you know what kind of pre- or post-natal care your
mother received when she was pregnant and what the dates and times of those
appointments with her doctors were? For as many as 74,000 U.S. citizens a year,
supplying this information to the U.S. State Department could be the difference
between getting or being rejected for a passport.

"In February the department announced it was posting to the Federal Register a
public notice seeking comments on a new proposal that would require the
additional information when a passport applicant "submits citizenship or
identity evidence that is insufficient or of questionable authenticity." The
comment period ends this month, and the government will subsequently evaluate
the comments and decide if it will enact the new rule. The State Department did
not respond to several requests made for comment about the proposal." There is more at the link which I can't give.

This is a foot in the door idea I think is very dangerous. We need Jewish leadership to check out what is going on, but I don't see anyone doing it.
