Today is Your Day to Stop Real ID
 

We have less than 48 hours to stop our nation from having a National ID card scheme.

The US Senate is scheduled to vote either today or tomorrow on two amendments that will remove Real ID provisions from the immigration bill.

Real ID is a very, very real national identification card. Sixteen states have passed legislation rejecting REAL ID: now it's time for the Senate to do their part. You can fax your Senators and take immediate action by visiting:

Thanks Bill, I sent my fax

Thanks. I will send too. I'm not sure it will do much but it's better than sitting and taking it quietly.

Done - and thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Thanks for the heads up. I've sent my faxes.

Done as well.

Thanks for making it easy to do, Bill. ^

Faxes sent this morning. Thanks for making it easy.

Sent, and thanks for linking this for us!

Done. Best of luck, Bill.

Done as well.

Thanks Bill:
My fax just sent.

BTW, I was watching something about this on the news. I don't know if our opinions will help sway things, especially since they are already debating it. I certainly hope this doesn't pass. :(

Thank you, Bill. Fax sent. ^

I just sent my fax too
 

Just in case anyone is questioning the legitimacy of this, here's the ACLU's take (I'm not a member, but decided to check their website before sending a fax via the site BillScann suggested)

Per ACLU - "Stop Sneaky ID Push

Urge Your Senators Not to Slip National IDs Into Immigration Bill

It’s been business as usual in Washington: controversial national ID legislation that should be debated out in the open is being tucked away into an enormous immigration bill in hopes that it will be eclipsed by “more important” issues.

Congress must pass an amendment to the Senate immigration bill that would remove the bill’s sneaky requirements for Real ID that have nothing to do with immigration reform. Congress must also reject an amendment that would require social security cards be biometrically enhanced, most likely with our fingerprints.

Contact your Members of Congress right now to demand they debate their national ID program on its own merits, not hidden in the immigration reform bill. Congress must debate their plans in public and face the scrutiny of Americans who are fed up with increased invasions of our privacy, opportunities for identity theft and ever-expanding limits to our freedoms"
