"Repeal the Real ID Act" is DownsizeDC.org's oldest active campaign.
That's because REAL ID - which is a de facto national ID card - lays the foundation for a future police state.
That's why so many people have fought against it so hard for so long. And thanks to that resistence REAL ID still hasn't been implimented, six years after it became law! A big part of this is because of your pressure.
And now there's more good news . . .
There's a silver lining in the monstrous, 1,926-page appropriations bill (H.R. 3082). This bill rescinds funding for a REAL ID "hub." The House already passed the bill, and the Senate will consider it as soon as TODAY.
This hub would have created a centralized ID verification system, where states share driver information with each other. Without this hub, REAL ID suffers a fatal blow.
That's why we're asking you to tell Congress to support this cut in REAL ID's budget, and to repeal REAL ID altogether.
You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
I'm glad that the House is rescinding funding for a REAL ID hub in the H.R. 3082 budget bill. My Senators should ensure that this rescission remains in the bill.
But you should do more. Repeal REAL ID entirely.
* REAL ID assumes I am a foreign terrorist or illegal immigrant, and that I must "prove" my innocence
* I am punished with higher fees, more red tape, and longer DMV lines
* And my private information will be centralized, making me more susceptible to identity theft and other dangers
Furthermore . . .
* The REAL ID law still exists as an unconstitutional, unfunded mandate on the cash-strapped states
* 21 states will still be out of compliance when it is scheduled to take effect in May, 2011 http://www.seattlepi.com/local/431425_realid08.html?source=mypi
* By de-funding the verification hub, there's no longer any point in forcing the states to implement REAL ID
This is America, land of the free. It's not the land of "Your papers, please." Help restore liberty to America and repeal REAL ID.

Dream Act supporters want Education on taxpayers dime and a pathway to citizenship.
Claims that it is not fair to deny a child who was brought into the country illegally has spewed forth without considerable thought.
Not surprisingly, Ousted house members Republicans and Democrat supported the Legislation of the bad Dream.
It may not be the child's fault that their parents have broken the laws of this land but it is also not the fault of hardworking taxpayers who are bursting at the seams with high taxes and high unemployment.
Americans do not want to pay for the education of those who entered into this country regardless of how it happened. They certainly do not want reward lawbreakers with a pathway to citizenship.
Sorry, but as a child, if my parents made bad finacial and or legal choices, the whole family suffered including the children. Yet, we are supposed to reward them?
Tell your senators, to stop this bad dream and prevent it from being a nightmare.

Read the Bills Act and Food Safety: What Happens When Your Senators Don't Read the Bill
Posted by John Markley
A funny thing happened on the way to the "food safety" bill's passage. As the letter below says, Senators violated a provision of the Constitution when they passed their version (S.510), and House leaders will not accept this violation.
We are pleased with this development, because it makes final passage of the dangerous "food safety" bill much more difficult.
But it should also be pointed out that if DownsizeDC.org's Read the Bills Act (RTBA) had been in force, the Senate would not have made this mistake. And so we're asking you to tell Congress to introduce and pass the Read the Bills Act.
You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
The "food safety" bill that passed the Senate, S.510, is further proof that we need the Read the Bills Act (RTBA). S.510 includes new taxes, whereas the Constitution requires all tax bills to originate in the House.
This means the 73 Senators who voted for it either . . .
* Knowingly violated their oath of office to support the Constitution, or . . .
* They didn't read the bill!
The Read the Bills Act (RTBA) would have prevented this . . .
* It requires all bills that come to a vote to be read before a quorum in each chamber
* It also requires that they be posted online, in their final form, seven days before a final vote
If the RTBA was in force, surely many people would have caught this mistake BEFORE the bill's passage.
If you take your oath of office seriously, you wouldn't knowingly pass a bill that clearly violates the Constitution. The RTBA would prevent that from happening. I therefore expect you to introduce this bill soon.
END LETTER
You may send your letter using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System.
We also invite you to add your blog or website to the Read the Bills Act Coalition. By joining, you help spread the word about the RTBA, and in return we will list your site on our blog and announce it in a Downsizer-Dispatch reaching over 30,800 readers. You may learn more and join here.
This month we welcome Live Free Radio to the coalition. ![]()
