Hi D and any Amerikan who recognizes they don't have time to waste watching their brothers and sisters throw up on themselves...I've included below the portion of the bill passed by both Houses of the US Congress in May, 2005, known as the "Real ID Act." It goes into effect in May, 2008. Read it and weep or better yet use the Internet for something useful: first, call, write or email your Senator (if he or she survived the recent elections) and tell the fool thanks for selling you down the tubes (all Senators voted for this); next, find out if your House Rep voted for this (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll031.xml), then either call, write or email to congratulate him or her for voting Nay and ask what activity is in the works to rescind this portion of the bill. Get an answer...a commitment. LOL...good luck. If your Rep voted for it, chances are he or she got busted in the most recent elections and you have a newbie to rake over the coals about what he or she is going to do about having this piece of legislation rescinded.
Something else to do, and perhaps even more importantly, contact your State Reps to find out what they are doing in your State to reject Real ID. Posting any other constructive, proactive ideas along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise--Good luck...and good night. Mike DuPree PS There's a twist to all this. See: http://www.unrealid.com/ "The Department of Homeland Security plans to outsource REAL ID implementation to third-party data aggregators, according to official DHS documents...What does this all mean? Quite simply, this is the outsourcing of our Constitutional rights. It means that all privacy protections on our drivers license data will be removed once the DMV sends your data to the private corporation. If it's possible to create a scheme worse than a national ID card, this is it: a privatized National ID card. The citizens of every state will not only be at the mercy of a company like ChoicePoint or Acxiom to 'approve' their identity, but will have no privacy protections whatsoever on that data. Your sensitive drivers license data can be bought and sold along with everything else these companies sell, such as your credit information. The federal government can then gain access to this information without having to comply with any laws, such as the Privacy Act. DHS is granting the right to control our identity to private industry...Congress needs to take immediate action to stop this travesty." Now, I haven't verified the above. Maybe this is just some website using misinformation to sell itself. However, if you Google "Outsourcing Real ID Act Implementation," you will find other documentation to this effect. So while you're on the phone or writing or emailing your US House Rep (and maybe your Senator, especially if he or she is a newbie, but even incumbents may have found a renewed sense of willingness for keeping Big Brother at bay...ok, you're sorry you said thanks fool but that was just to even the score. Here's the Senator's chance for redemption), please inform them how this legislation may be being outsourced to private industry. Inform State Reps of same. After you've taken the time to do the above, then watch the idiot videos and feel good about the fact you just might be helping save not only a nation of slobs for another day of slobdom, but especially your own freedom to choose whether or not (no, when) you want to be a slob too.
