REAL ID goes way beyond that. It's a huge power-grab by the federal government over the states' systems for issuing driver's licenses.
One of my fears is that this new uniform driver's license will bring a new level of
"show me your papers" echoes of Hitler, checks by the government. Already you can't fly without an ID, even though no one has ever explained how that ID check makes airplane terrorism any harder.
New Hampshire agrees does not want National ID. New Hampshire House Passes Anti-REAL ID Bill. The New Hampshire House of Representatives has just passed HB 1582, an act "prohibiting New Hampshire from participating in a national identification card system." If the measure passes the state Senate, New Hampshire will be the first state to reject the REAL ID Act, which sets federal standards for state driver's licenses, essentially making them national ID cards. According to a recent survey (pdf) of state motor vehicle administrators, the costs of implementation have been vastly underestimated by the federal government, which initially put the total price at $100 million. Pennsylvania alone would spend $85 million on REAL ID, the survey found. (Apr. 17)
Since when the Federal Government has the right to dictate to an individual or to a Sovereign state, their own form of government is the only government. I am under to assumption that the government is to help the people not hinder them.
What happen to the Bill of Rights? Does the Federal Government obey the Constitution?
NO!
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to “
ourselves and our posterity,” do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.
The National ID Act is more of the FEDs control over everyone and everything. People must stand up and tell the government you don't want it. It is your right to tell them.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Take a stand people, email, call or write your congressman or representative and tell THEM -
NO NATIONAL ID!
Social SecurityCard was never to be use for Id. In 1977, the Carter Administration reiterated that the SSN was not to become an identifier
