In a article I read in my local paper regarding the National Driver License, part of the Real ID Act that the Federal Governments wants. It is coming apparent the If the states do not comply, than citizen of that state will not be allow to board and planes of enter any Federal Building, Ex.(Post Office, Library of Congress, Lincoln Memorial, Capital Building)
Yes we need security, but not at the cost of giving up god given rights.
Below is a copy of a Letter to Editor I send I Friday.
PAPERS PLEASE!
In regards to the National driver's license, it coming apparent that the Federal Government is dictating to the State government you must comply. I heard echoes of Hitler and Stalin, “Papers Please!”
Who are you? Are you a person that the Federal government owns? I am not a Federal Citizen; I am a Marylander in the State of Maryland, and not some piece of property that the Federal Governments own.
Here is our Governor, why hasn't he told the Federal Government to stay of out the State of Maryland business. Maryland is a separate entity and is not part of the Federal government, why has our State government not told the Fed's butt out!
Yes, we need security, but not at the cost of our god given rights. The Federal government, in my opinion has overstepped and ignored the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. They are imposing their will, ignoring the rights of the people. What would our founding fathers say?
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Redress of grievances is your right, Federal Government is ignoring that rights, so it is time to speak out, tell our state representatives to tell the Fed's to Butt Out!!
Does anyone have any suggestions that I can forward to our Representatives who is suppose to represent the people??
