Stand Firm Against the Privacy-Violating National ID Card

Target: Governors of ME, MT, NH, OK and SC
Sponsored by: American Civil Liberties Union
The federal effort to create a national identity card would take us one step closer to a surveillance society, erode our right to privacy, and put our personal information at risk!

Real ID would force all states to connect their DMV databases to one single interlinked system -- facilitating government tracking of ordinary Americans. It would also expose our most sensitive personal information to criminal identity theft.

Governors in five states courageously rejected this invasive law and the dramatic tax increases required to pay its massive price tag last year. If these states stand their ground, Congress will be forced to repeal this horrible program!

Thank the Governors who’ve stood up against the national ID card AND ASK THEM TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 20,000

Dear Governor [Name],

Thank you for standing up to the Bush administration and fighting against the Real ID Act. Your courageous stand is not only protecting state residents, but also setting a national example to other states.

I am deeply concerned about the impact of Real ID on our privacy and pocketbooks, and I am very pleased that you opted out of the program last year. Since the Department of Homeland Security has failed to heed the concerns of the states about this misguided and dangerous law, it is even more critical now that the states that have rejected it stand together against the administration's scare tactics.

[Your comment here]

Again, thank you for leading the charge against Real ID. Please stand strong and keep protecting our privacy and civil rights.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

We are citizens, not numbers. Our privacy should be kept just that way: private.

This is a democracy we live in and our privacy, security and civil rights need to be protected from egomaniacs like President Bush and his Cabinet. In fact, I want most any and everything proposed by any of them to be defeated

If you understand the mindset of how my State SC was formed and on what basis. And that this is something Larger than what prob 99.9% of non bretheren understand in the US. I do not udnerstand why my state has stepped up to do this. I am totaly dumbfounded. but if it was anyone in power that chose to go against this, and the state wanted to go forth. They would be removed from power. The only thing that comes to mind fast, is that my state has within it people that HAVE something to hide. But, this ID is going to happen. And there is nothing to do about it, unless you chose to ACT or leave the states. But wait? This ID is what they are now asking you if you want it in place/works as A PASSPORT! I have said too much. Free minded people understand enough to think for the greater good. Others think for what good they can reap.
