Stop The Real ID ACT

Feel free to copy the following letter into a WORD document of your own. My goal is to fax this letter everyday for 30 days to each of the recipients listed to the right of this article. I implore you to do the same...for Freedom's sake.

To: U.S. Congress

Stop The Real ID ACT!

The REAL ID Act is a bad law passed under false pretenses. It was rejected three separate times by the U.S. Senate, and was passed only because it was added (slipped under the radar) to a larger bill containing disaster relief and funding for Iraq. The Senate didn't want it, and the American people don't want it either. It has been imposed on us, and so now we have to fight to get it repealed.

The DL/ID card is considered by many to be de facto ID, controlling our ability to buy, sell and move. REAL ID, biometric ID and database linking violate the First, Fourth and Tenth Amendments. Global database linking will certainly result in an ID theft pandemic. DHS-TSA can't even keep track of computer hard drives. How are they to protect our personal information when shared with other nations?

An international system of identification, that links one physically (through biometrics) to the control of financial transactions, threatens the religious beliefs of millions. The illegal searching of personal effects and papers without warrant or probable cause violates protected privacy and personal security. The Tenth Amendment protects states' rights to issue ID and prevents federal tyranny by keeping those powers close to the people. The federal-international hijacking of state ID means that people lose access to the government entity that administers control of the ID. In this case, the ID document has potential control over our ability to buy, sell and move.

Once databases are linked, under REAL ID or other legislation, U.S. citizens will be PERMANENTLY enrolled in a system that wrecks their constitutional liberties and their constitutional rule over their government. As a result, REAL ID, biometric ID, database linking and the actions of DHS are all unconstitutional.

We are promised increased personal security in return for laying this new "foundation stone" for the creation of a future police state. But those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither, and will have neither. We are tearing down our sovereignty from the inside out. This form of ID reeks of an American Gestapo.

By the way, who’s going to fund this $11billion expense; we the people or the Government on credit cards?

Many good arguments can be made against REAL ID, but they all reduce to one overpowering truth. The more information government has the less it seems to know. The more power government has the less it seems able to accomplish. Big Government doesn't work. The federal government needs to do less in order to accomplish more. Small government is focused government. We need smaller government, not a massive new federal identification system.

Why is the silence in Florida so deafening? Why aren’t you representing your people and standing up against this? Please stop the Real Id Act! I look forward to your timely response.


Sincerely,
