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.
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.
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
At least some people realize what’s going on:

“…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.”
