Support Biggs’ bill
As a Simpsonville resident who recently relocated from Chicago — and someone with a growing understanding of risk management through civic engagement and community reading — I’m writing to express strong support for H.R.3860, the No Passports for Terrorists and Traffickers Act, introduced by U.S. Rep. Sheri Biggs, R-S.C.
This bill addresses a troubling gap in our national security framework by empowering the State Department to revoke or deny U.S. passports to individuals who aid foreign terrorist organizations or trafficking networks. At a time when fentanyl and human trafficking are devastating families across South Carolina, we must ensure that Americans who collaborate with cartels or extremist groups cannot freely travel under the protection of a U.S. passport. I hope future legislation will extend this authority to include human trafficking as well.
This is not a partisan issue — it’s a moral and civic issue. Our communities deserve policies that reflect accountability and protect innocent lives. H.R.3860 sends a clear message: If you support transnational crime, you forfeit the privilege of global mobility.
I urge fellow South Carolinians to contact their U.S. representatives and support this bill. Let’s stand together for safety, justice and the integrity of our nation’s borders.

Charleston Stage recognition
As a longtime fan of “The Sound of Music” as well as The Post and Courier’s “7 Questions” feature, I was delighted to find that the Sept. 11 edition was devoted to my beloved movie and play.
However, it was disappointing that the trivia column missed a prime opportunity to promote Charleston Stage’s production of the play. Its run began Sept. 3 and will continue through Sept. 28 at the historic Dock Street Theatre.
How timely such a mention would have been. Why give priority to an out-of-town group that is scheduled to perform in November and will undoubtedly receive wide promotion in all types of media?
To all involved with Charleston Stage, thank you for your hard work, and I wish the best of luck with all your upcoming performances.

Read world news
Every week, one story seems to take the focus of TV news, and broadcasters talk about it over and over. It is driving me back to newspapers, where I can choose my topic instead of having it chosen for me.
I am especially interested in world news, and read the English versions of newspapers from around the globe: Paris, Tokyo, New Delhi and Rio de Janeiro. I also watch select YouTube channels. American news is too U.S.-centric; there is a whole world out there.
