US Passport Day

From US State Department:
"Passport Day in the USA: Saturday March 10, 2012"

On Saturday, March 10 only, apply for your U.S. passport at a Regional Passport Agency without an appointment. You will be able to apply for standard processing (4-6 weeks) or pay an additional $60 for expedited processing (2-3 weeks, door-to-door). Passport Day in the USA events are being held at Regional Passport Agencies and many Passport Acceptance Facilities across the country in communities like yours. If you’ve been waiting to get your passport, this is the time!

^ With the US Government requiring Americans to have passports to enter or leave the country (which I think is a stupid law) the number of passports has risen in the past few years. I only found out about National Passport Day by looking at the State Department's website on a whim. You would think the Government would advertise this program a little more (at Post Offices, etc.) I already have my passport so I'm all set. ^
