Example of what a National ID card will look like. The National ID card carries a RFID chip which scans personal information and works as a tracking device for American citizens.

Urge Congress and President Bush to Permanently ban National ID cards and to repeal the Real ID Act

Target:
U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives & President Bush
Sponsored by: 
The constitution grants American citizens their privacy through the 1st amendment as well as the states rights to create their own laws and forms of identification. Freedoms such as privacy are the most importantfundamental rights American citizens have.
But the human rights granted by the constitution are constantly under siege.Time and time again, Congress, President Bush as well as the news mediahave sought to dis-inform the American public by professing that giving upcivil liberties for more security is necessary for the nation. 
And now President has signed the Real ID Act of 2006 be enforced by May 11, 2011. This Act allows for the mandating of National ID cards for every citizen which will threaten everyAmerican citizens' freedoms and privacy.
We need to permanently protect our fundamental rights and civil liberties such as privacy! Urge your Representativeto repeal the Real ID Act of 2006 as unconstitutional to permanently protect our civil liberties while we still have them.

Dear President Bush and United States Congress,
We, the American People, recognize our rights to freedom and privacy. We also recognize that a National ID card threatens our civil liberties and quality of lives as we as American citizens should not be suspected as terrorists. We are not slaves to the United States government and are not willing to give up our sovereignty as free Americans. A National ID card is ultimately unconstitutional and will not prevent terrorism and illegal immigration as many uninformed people may suggest. Therefore, we urge you to take immediate, concrete and comprehensive action to address the Unconstitutionality of a National ID card by repealing the Real ID Act of 2006.
The cost of giving up civil liberties for more security is too much to bear for anybody in the world, nonetheless American citizens.

I don't want anyone knowing my whereabouts 24/7 with an RFID chip in a card emits a low signal for government to trace me anytime. Or when I make any transactions at bank,grocery store, pharmacy etc. Wake Up America we are slowly being taken over and our rights violated!!!Next the Blue Laws will be inacted and inforced. Blue Laws our Sunday worship that is already in law but not inforced yet. Take back your freedoms now. Another way the government is taking away your freedom is the no public smoking laws. Some States you cant even smoke in your car. It is a cover for future laws to control what you can do in Public. It has nothing to do with your health or the government would have shut down tobacco companys long ago. Wake Up and look around you at what is happening to America. I thought that " WE THE PEOPLE " run this country? NOT. Take back our country from those in power for our own good before its too late. Do you know that the satellites in orbit can pinpoint you with ID cards or RFID chips anytime anywhere. Even when you are in the privacy of your own home. Seems like no one cares anymore for there country to allow such abominations to take place. Wake up and control your own future before its too late! These cards are just precursors to something far worse. Ask yourself why you would need a Global National ID card? That means the whole world is required to have these same cards.

This is too close to the Soviet policy of ensuring everyone had their "papers" to control movement and communication of the people in the USSR. Will we need permission to travel more than 100 miles from home next?

We already use the Social Security System as a means of National Identification; even though the bylaws of the Social Security System clearly stipulate that Social Security numbers are not to be used as Identification. Yet, we cannot get a Drivers license, a job, or even credit without giving out our SSN.

NO NATIONAL ID CARD!!!!!. QUIT, STOP, CEASE ALL ATTEMPTS TO CIRCUMVENT THE CONSTITUTION AND VIOLATION OF YOUR OATH OF OFFICE, TO DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED NATURAL RIGHTS, AND FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY. I will not stand for mine and my friends and family's freedom's to trampled upon. I will not be forbidden from being able to work or travel or buy or sell or live, just because I refuse to be branded by this devilish slave identity card, because myself and mine refuse to be the cowering slaves of the globalist masters of the traitors of the Constitution that run amuck in Congress. No Biometric’s or any other identity card renovations and/or any DHS mandates requiring their permission to work or live. NO FIXES!, No compromises!, no partial repeal or delay! Repeal the Real ID Act in its entirety! Terminate this abomination, this attempt at totalitarian control, now! We will not be tracked and monitored! I and other true Americans will not be marked like cattle. We are not slaves! Nor will we be! I will not be finger printed or facial mapped like a criminal; I will not be retinal scanned nor tissue sampled for DNA profiling. I will not carry around chip inserted in a card, nor have one forcibly inserted in my flesh. I won’t have my personal information amassed in a central database ripe for theft. It won’t happen. I’ll never do it. My parents are in their late 70’s, honest and upright paid their taxes and tried to live right. Now you want to deny them, others and myself our right to privacy and anonymity. By this abomination, you attempt to deny us our Social Security, bank access and all means to carry on just a basic right to life and liberty, if we choose not to be your submissive cowering slaves. By this act you seek to monitor us 24/7, and sharing/selling our information eventually with others (Mexico, Canada, who else?) without our permission. Our lives and information are not a possession of this Government or any other. WE ARE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE. GOD gave us our rights not you. This Government was meant to be a servant of the PEOPLE not their master! You say this is to control illegal aliens or other security issues. How is monitoring the honest citizens of these 50 States help you watch the illegals? It doesn’t! It is an attempt at subjugation of the population, Nothing more! You attempt to terminate the sovereignty of the States as well. Well my parents and I and others we know are not your property to do with as you wish. WE ARE NOT SLAVES. WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES! If you are truly representatives of the people, and not some power hungry, power mad despots seeking self-serving ends, you will repeal this madness! It will be remembered who truly represented the people and Honored the Constitution, and who did not.
