Passport marking a throw-back to Nazi Germany.
News About Sex Offender Registries
In the days of the Third Reich, the Nazis stamped the passports of Jews with a conspicuous “J”. The “Judenstempel” (Jew Stamp), was used by the Nazi German authorities identify those of the Jewish faith.
Through the identifier, German Jews could be identified immediately at border crossings. Depending on the entry requirements of the destination country, this could mean that Jews were denied entry.
On October 5, 1938, the Reich Ministry of the Interior invalidated all German passports held by Jews, requiring them to surrender their old passports and reissuing them with the large “J” stamp in them.
On October 27, 2017, the United States Department of State announced that it will begin revoking the passports of registered sex offenders and reissue them with an identifier.
And so begins our one way incarceration into FEMA camps via simultaneous night time raids. No need for informants: government already has all the addresses.
This abomination has been in the works for quite a while now. Is it the Trump administration that has finally pushed it to completion?? I thought the Republicans wanted smaller government. Sad!
I pray that FAC is successful in its legal attempts to undo what self-serving, fear-mongering politicians have done to our Constitution.
There are some rights that can neither be granted by nor taken by man. Those are “Unalienable.”
Again, prayerful that our Highest Court gets it right soon. I’m sure many are at wits end and will one day fulfill the “duty to revolt” spoken of by the founding fathers.
WHERE have FACs efforts been? I have not heard any active lawsuit at all, and we have submitted enough donations for lawsuit, I would imagine. It’s time to step it up Florida. Of all states, it’s one of the ones that lacks the most progress.
1) We have 2 ACTIVE lawsuits and 1 Pending FOR FLORIDA
2) IML is not a Florida issue, it’s a nationwide issue and FAC is participating in the fight.
3) I will look for your donation Joe123
Out of curiosity : which is the case pending in Florida?
Has the FAC had any legal victories?
I am just looking for insight, I am not pointing fingers.
Here are TWO presently in the court.
Internet Identifier – DELGADO et al v. SWEARINGEN (4:16-cv-00501-RH-CAS)
Notable victory – Obtained an injunction blocking the 2016 amendment to the definition of “internet identifier”
SORR – Doe et al v. Miami-Dade County et al (1:14-cv-23933-PCH)
Notable victory – Appealed case to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and obtained reversal.
and our Ex Post Facto will be filed shortly.
This case is also one to watch as it would help restore voting rights for Florida Felons. The case is headed to a Sum Judgment hearing shortly. Maguire Vs Strange in Alabama has also recently filed additional outside rulings of Authority. Things are heating up all around.

The comments from so many ignorant people speaks volumes about the orchestrated dumbing down of Americans via government propaganda. As long as they can keep the sheople living in fear, the sheople will follow the politicans to their own slaughter.
is there no end to the punishment. registration is already a life sentence that should not be. there is no other crime that doesn’t have an end to the sentence after being released.
having to report every change in your life. and that has to be done within 48 hours or you are non compliant. what happens next you are thrown in jail. Even if you overlook something honestly you are wrong and will be further punished.

Gets worse every year, of tbe twenty I’ve been off paper. Local Sheriff makes up its own rules, controlling every aspect of my life. State took my vote. Like Nazi Germany, it is Nazi Germany
I’m curious in the state of Florida can a SO vote? I get told different things. But I thought voting rights were only barred from so/Felons until incarceration, parole and Probation were complete.
No felon may vote in floriduh regardless of being under court jurisdiction or not.
One must petition the state to request restoration of right to vote and all those that have to do with unalienable rights people are supposed to enjoy.
But hey, if ya make enough money, or own a home you still get to pay federal and property taxes to support the fascist bastards in government. =)
A.L.S. – In Florida, RSOs cannot vote with the exception of those that are adjudication withheld. There is a movement in FL to restore felons civil rights after sentence served but it excludes RSOs (of course – doesn’t everything?) My son was told when his case was adjudicated by attorneys and others that once his sentence was completed he could have his record sealed/expunged. However, the rules for it specifically state not for RSOs. In fact, I wish I knew how to tell when that was added to the statute to know if it is an ex post facto scenario for him but I have never been able to figure it out. LOL Also, remember the US Constitution does not say felons cannot vote…that is all state crap. Florida is not the only state with that but there are only a few.
That is not correct.
Those who have had their civil rights restored can vote.
Prior to Governor Scott, Governor Crist had restoration of civil rights for felons, pretty much automatically.
Which part is not correct? I want to make sure I know….
I realize those who have civil rights restored can vote. To me, that goes without saying.
The statement, “In Florida, RSOs cannot vote with the exception of those that are adjudication withheld.” is incorrect.
Disenfranchisement in Florida has NOTHING to do with sex offender status or adjudication.
FELONS in Florida cannot vote unless they have had their civil rights restored.
Someone ADJUDICATED GUILTY of a misdemeanor can vote.
Someone adjudicated guilty of a sex offense who has had their civil rights restored can vote.
Thank you. That’s kind of just a different way of saying what I was saying. I think the misunderstanding was that I was answering the question that specifically asked if sex offenders could vote. So my answer addressed that question. Adjudication withheld sex offenders can vote. Balloons sex offender or not cannot vote unless their civil rights are restored. I am not familiar with the exact rules but I Must have misunderstood that the rules about getting your civil rights restored did exclude sex offenders from going through that process. I wonder if there’s many that have been granted those civil rights? So the bill that people are asking for is it just to have it automatic? I know I read the original of that particular bill and I did exclude sex offenders
Even under Charlie Crist, there was a carveout in the automatic restoration for denial of those convicted of certain offenses. Among those offenses that required a physical application were pretty much all offenses that would land one in the registry and murder.
We can’t live in FEMA housing that was taken away a couple of years ago I believe so it’s straight to the trench
This is a test run to see how far they can go in violating a person’s civil and constitutional rights. They have effectively demonized anyone that is a sexual offender through propaganda. Same strategy the Nazi regime used to demonize the Jews. Once the hatred and anger toward them was rampant in society, they could then start violating their rights. The same thing is going on in this situation, right here in the good old USA in 2017. My greatest concern is what group of people will be the next target? Political dissenters? Homosexuals? Other so called enemies of the state? Time will tell. This is definitely a slippery slope we are sliding down as a free society. Fear and paranoia have taken root and common sense and decency have been thrown out the window.
I grieves me greatly to see this happening in this country that always stood for freedom, dignity, and a second chance.?
Well said, and Amen.
I see Civil War in my lifetime…
I hope you are right! It’s long overdue in the United States!

Almost sounds like an 80 year anniversary. Geez!
Reading the comments is so heartbreaking. It seems that most people do not “get it” until they or someone they love is in the same situation.
am I the only one who feels this way?
Strangled, caged, left alone
Doin’ time in a broken home
Feelin’ left to die
I’m a product of your troubled ways
You made me what I am today
Now you’re askin’ why
Restless soul deep inside
Searches for some piece of mind
Livin’ just to die
I’m an angry man I always have
Had to fight to survive my past
Sign of these times
Oh, life it’s misunderstood me
So I close my eyes
And dream of better days
Oh, life it’s misunderstood me
Life’s not always fair or so they say
“…then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Sex Offenders, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Sex Offender.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
— MARTIN NIEMÖLLER (mostly)
At least some people realize what’s going on:

Sorry for the typo I’m not very good at doing this on my phone LOL The word balloons is supposed to be the word felons
My offence was in Michigan. I paroled out to Florida. I have voted every time that I needed to vote…yes in Florida. My voters rights we’re never taken away because of my conviction. So, my question is; I’m I violating the laws in Florida anytime I voted?
No – if you are registered to vote – you are OK
So what you’re saying is that, if they let me register to vote then the State of Florida has not removed my rights to vote in Florida?
I don’t know anything about your individual case and cannot opine.
