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.

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 here]

Are the feds using Orwell's 1984 as a blueprint?

We are losing our civil rights every single day, and our vision of democracy is not what our forefathers had intended for our country. Pretty soon, the whole nation will be privatized soldiers or slaves working to benefit a select few with all the power. Real ID is not necessary and is only a means to control us rather than protect us. Who would really benefit from this program? Where will the money come from for it, and who will get it this time?

This is insanity. Once the American people understand what this loony plan is really all about, they will want no part of it. No thanks, Big Brother!

The Government is out of control, too much power in the hands of too few. A national ID card is a violation of our privacy.

We are not in a police state. There are too many risks that will always outweigh a national I.D. card.

The current administration already thinks it is JUST FINE to listen in on ordinary citizens' phone calls & to track everybody's online activities !! Don't let Orwell's "1984" become our reality !!!

This is not an American concept. It further erodes our privacy as individuals. Thanks for standing strong against this idea of National ID card.
