Real ID Act in the Senate
Looking at the newswire on the Internet, it looks like the Real ID Act
is in limbo and the Senate is not too receptive to it. It is attached to the Emergency Iraq and Tsunami Relief funding which is HR1268. It is mentioned that when the Real ID Act is stripped, members of the House especially F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr will probably have a temper tantrum because their draconian legislation was stripped. This is the time to contact our Senators and tell them that we do not want the Real ID Act and ask them to hold their ground and dig their heels in and not give into the demands of the House. The Real ID Act especially the driver's license provisions are considered outrageous and deserves to go nowhere. One of the most outrageous provisions is the mandate that states must participate in the Driver License Agreement - http://tinyurl.com/633y5 (PDF Document) in terms of sharing driver's information like driving record, addresses and the most private part, your Social Security Number. Not only will the info be shared interstate but also internationally starting with Canada and Mexico (reference page 4, item 11 in document). Other countries could be added later such as the EU. Contact Congress information is found at http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ . |
