An article in The Washington Times yesterday first drew parallels between CAP and the Owl, but a spokeswoman for Kennedy called the comparison “absurd.” “This social club has zero in common with CAP, an organization designed to promote an agenda that rolled back the clock on equality and justice,” the spokeswoman, Laura Capps, said in an interview on Wednesday night.

Cell phone companies, for example, require an absurd amount of deposit in addition to a number of papers in place of a SSN. I got my phone after depositing $400 to Verizon Wireless.Furthermore, credit card companies check a person’s credit based entirely on his or her SSN. People without a SSN are thus without credit...
