Work needed

I've just restructured this entry, edited it for clarity, and marked sections that need further work. The references mentioned in Further Reading are a good place to start for expanding this entry's content and beefing up its citations. ---Shane Landrum (cliotropic | talk | contribs) 20:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

title

Shouldn't the act be spelled with a hyphen rather than a dash: i.e.the Sheppard-Towner Act, rather than the Sheppard–Towner Act? Wormcast (talk) 21:03, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of US Treasury?

Why does the article not mention that the US Treasury holds your birth certificate as a bond?2601:806:4301:C100:41BC:DA4:A5AA:B476 (talk) 17:11, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because that's all nonsense?

This is why I came to this page: to see if someone had addressed this.

Here is a nutball website teaching this: http://articleatlas.com/Birth-certificate-is-an-unrevealed-trust-instrument.html

Someone needs to prove that this act has NOTHING to do with birth certificates as bonds, and all the other sovereign citizen garbage. 158.62.187.75 (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions

I revised most sections, expanded content, and added citations. I did not touch the "infant mortality" section, although I think it could still be significantly streamlined. -- Raaboyl (talk) 21:55, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
