[Sosfbay-discuss] voter registration vs homeland security

[Jim Doyle]

1)  up to 10,000 new citizens to be sworn in in August in Santa Clara County
    at two large ceremonies at the county fairgrounds
    If I understood correctly that will be on Thursday August 7-th and
    Thursday August 14-th  (personal communication from Soccoro McCord)

2)  Homeland Security has changed a regulation affecting procedures at
    swearing ceremonies claiming congestion resulting in a drop in 
registrations.

3)  thus we have an opportunity to distribute voter registration forms
    to those being sworn in as they arrive
