Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Barbara was born in a farmhouse in the 1970s in Leavenworth County. She had a birth certificate. Her father went to the courthouse days after she was born to certify her birth -- raised seal and all.
I was born at home also and my birth certificate is from a courthouse and it looks lame as all get out(worse that BHO's) but it has a seal and has been accepted by multiple agency's in the US Government/Military.
The letter stated, because her birth certificate was not issued at a institution or hospital, it was not considered proof enough of her citizenship.
If a court house is not considered an institution I don't know what is.
I would resubmit it. Knowing Houston TX it probably dropped on the desk of some bureaucratic POS who was having a bad hair day or had lost one of her fake nails.
The government is full of a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s that have nothing better to do than harass citizens.
Agree 100%
Toss in bad attitudes and indolence, you have the quintessential employee.
Don't like to be disturbed when internet viewing or playing solitaire.

They are NOT the same!
A Birth Certificate IS proof of birth! A Certificate of live Birth is NOT.
Sorry but I do not know much more than that. I worked in Child Support Enforcement and the courts will not accept a Certificate of Live Birth.
I'm wondering why she had to send in a copy of her birth certificate to renew? I've renewed my passport twice and just had to obtain two fresh photos of my handsome face [;)], fill out the renewal form and then mail it, payment and my old passport to the agency. Other than applying the first time, I've never had to submit any citizenship documentation at all to renew.
In 2017, hundreds of US citizens were sickened by whooping cough, & 21 died; this was due to Obama's decision to permit illegal aliens to stay in the US without health screening; not hard to pin the blame in this case.
In the case of a drivers license, rules are likely based on the requirements of the federal Real ID Act, with some interpretation by the state government. I think that it would be better to litigate unjust treatment with the governor & state legislators from the comfort of my home, rather than from a jail cell.

Seems like I remember getting a letter, I think from Montgomery, telling me my birth certificate was useless but I could get a new one that met all the requirements of the new legislation by applying for it. I figured it wasn?t worth the trouble and dropped the letter into the shredder.
I got my first passport in Spain. I used my Navy ID Card for identification. When I got my next passport I remembered the letter and sent in my passport instead of my birth certificate. If there were any problems with it nobody told me about it, but this reminds me, I need to look at the passport to see if it has expired.
evidently a certificate of live birth is acceptable for a U.S. president even if its late
For what the government is will to pay the staff they don't get the brightest!
That is hardly true. Most Govt. employees who can get by the probation period and stay around are paid far more than private sector employees.
Look at most Federal, State and Local wages and benefits and they will generally far exceed the private sector.
I know of one person, who has just a bachelors degree who has been with Fed's for about 20 years, they make almost $125k and never works over 40 hours a week.
Barbara had been issued a U.S. passport before, but this time around, Barbara was told her birth certificate wasn?t good enough to prove her citizenship.

If you like a passport lapse for x amount of years, you have to start all over

Yep, government employees get about 20% more than the private sector does for the same type of work
The only difference is that the government worker is harder to fire...

Darn I retired to soon ( eight years ago ), I should have waited for that HUGE pay raise.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is the issue here, major post offices, irs offices, all government offices have all become infected

Yep. That and every one of them hired w/o a test and a ranking [IE civil service] is some politicraps family or friend. No matter how incompetent and stupid they are.
