Tina Turner Gives up US Passport to Become Swiss Citizen

"And Turner isn’t the first one to give up her citizenship. Scrapping US passports is becoming more common each year. At least 1,788 Americans gave up their US citizenship in 2011, which exceeded totals from 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined. A number of prominent and wealthy Americans have already done so, including Facebook co-founder and billionaire Eduardo Saverin."

How you can become a citizen depends on a country’s laws, but there are five main methods:

* Birth within the borders of a nation’s territory

* Descent from a parent or grandparent

* Marriage to a foreign citizen

* Religion, as in Israel’s Law of Return

* Formal naturalization by applying and qualifying for citizenship. The naturalization process varies among countries.

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
