[...] A broad coalition of groups from all across the political spectrum had come together to urge citizens to tell DHS to shove REAL ID, which they did in spades. The department said it had received over 12,000 comments during the 60-day comment period on its draft regulations which ended yesterday, and that the comments were mixed. Comments at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday were more negative. The chairman, Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, complained that security rules were supposed to be â€œsmart as well as toughâ€ and predicted that state motor vehicle departments would not be able to cope with the requirements, which include verifying all documents presented by applicants. Even renewals will require birth certificates or other proof of legal residence. And the change will impose billions of dollars in costs on states and localities, Mr. Leahy and others said. [...]

[...] According to the poll of 5,932 adults, conducted from April 13-16, 2007, 70 percent of Americans support the REAL ID Act, which would require states to issue driver licenses and identification cards that conform to federal standards in order to have those cards recognized by the federal government. Only 24 percent were opposed to the act. But 52 percent said they would oppose a national ID that contained biometric information, such as fingerprints. [...]

[...] The federal REAL ID Act, passed in 2005, requires states to issue driver licenses and identification cards which conform to federal standards, or the federal government will not accept them. But compliance is expected to cost over $11 billion to start, and billions more over the following five years, leading some states to reject the program as an unfunded mandate. [...]

[...] REAL ID, that bitter pill which will further centralize identification of virtually every American, not to mention cost you untold billions of dollars, is so tough to swallow that many states are balking at it. But one state is eagerly accepting REAL ID after the Department of Homeland Security held out a carrot along with its sharp stick. [...]

[...] This isn’t the first time Homeland Security officials have made the perverse claim that REAL ID would protect Americans’ security. Secretary Michael Chertoff said the same thing March 1 while announcing the regulations states will have to follow in order to make their driver licenses and ID cards compliant with the act. [...]

Is it me or is this a case of an agency getting a small taste of power and getting addicted for more.

I think that we will have World War III followed by a civil war. At that point the country goes back to it’s roots or we have salvery for three generations. I think that we must get copies of the Citizens Rule Book to each and ever person we know. They will not listen until it is too late. I do not think that we can go back slowly as I had hoped before. The ID card would make Hilter proud.
I read a book called Storm Warning that is easy reading IF you can get someone to read it. You can only get it at 1-800-525-9556 ext 144 for $15 including postage. Private published. It covers how the ID cards will be used. There will be three of them and then go to the implant. It is Christian based. Check it out.

[...] Reality, Real ID, and You:Â The ACLU calls it a Real Nightmare.Â Wired calls it an internal passport.Â The good news is that the deadline for states to implement a de-facto Federal ID has been pushed back, giving everyone time to fight this thing.Â Even better, the actual implementation rules have been released, so we can all quote chapter and verse on what this thing does and does not say.

The real id act—will increase the danger of identity theft—and why requirements which the governement has found impossible to comply with for its own employees?

What we are not considering is the slippery slope we are traveling. This is just a small part of an overall plan
of the department of homeland security to know everything
it can about its citizens. We need to question what the government is doing in this country today. Without this
basic form of idenification we become persona non grata.
It appears that the mark of the beast is comming with the
help of the fundementalist Christians. This Administration
needs to be held accountable for the damage it has done to
this country. We appear to be returning to the days when
J.Edgar was the dictator of the FBI and the government could
do anything it wanted without any checks and balances.

As much as it burns me to say this, the vast majority of Americans are in a big fog when it comes to these current and dangerous issues. The mosty important issue that I think most Americans fail to realize is that IF the SPP goes through and is successful, THAT will evaporate our nation’s borders and THAT evaporates the power of the United States Constitution.

You see, the U.S. Constitution was drafted to work ONLY in a free nation with BORDERS. Without our borders, the definition of the area of coverage to the freedoms and rights protected by The Constitution are gone FOREVER!

For the most part, if people have internet access, I just tell them to put the several words or groups of words in their webpage browser line and hit ENTER. (Most people do not realize that their ISP’s browser line actually works as a search browser)

These words are:

AGENDA 21, REAL ID, SPP, FreedomToFascism, Global Vision, New World Order, Super NAFTA. Then to just browse through each of the “Hits” descriptions until they find a place that they would feel comfortable in jumping in and start reading and learning… QUICKLY! Then to share this information with their family and friends.

Then again, most people are happy with remaining stupid to what is really going on around them. Much like the response I got from a stranger that was discussing current event issues with several other passengers…

“If I don’t look at it, then it’s not there, it doesn’t exist!, Just like when a tree falls in a forrest, it doesn’t make any noise unless you are there to hear it!”

I responded with, “Well? How do you know that trees that are in forrests actually fall?”

From that point on I had to bite the insides of my mouth to keep from laughing.

People, the gruesome reality is this; You need to get educated immediately on what is about to take place in YOUR country. If you don’t, remaining oblivious of what is being reported, you will awaken one day in a land with no liberties or freedoms.

Think of it this way… It’s YOUR country too! It’s YOUR duty and responsibility as an American citizen to maintain this nation as outlined by the United States Constitution. PERIOD!

@Dan

“I’ve got nothing to hide.”

Do you even know what or why someone is looking? Do you have any idea of the rules used for “Data Mining”? Why would anyone assume they have nothing to hide?

You may have nothing to hide now, but something you hold dear now could, for whatever reason, become something you have to hide in the future.

Pastor Martin NiemÃ¶ller has some food for thought for you.
