In what could potentially be the single worse idea in the history of ideas, "Homeland Insecurity" chief Michael Chertoff is pushing uber hard for the "Real ID". Let's say you have to get a drivers license and you go to your local DMV. When you get in the door they'll take a picture and compare it to pictures of people who were "refused" a drivers license. If your pic and info match then guess what - no drivers license and who knows maybe a trip to Guantanamo...the rest of us will get a standard government issued ID card. Great googly moogly - the man done gon plum loco.
Looks like all of those wacky conspiracy theorists were right again huh? How about this: the US Congress slipped this vote in right around the time the president was all about catching Osama Bin Laden. This "Real ID" is part of the 9/11 bill...the fight terror at all costs bill...the smoke 'em out of their holes bill...the George Bush watched Katrina kill New Orleans bill...you know the rest.
I have an idea, lets call our Senators and members of the House of Representatives and tell them if they don't annihilate the "Real ID" and completely destroy it from becoming a reality, they will never serve in political office again. It's that important and amazingly (no real surprise) none of the "candidates" have addressed it. How did they vote you ask? Results.
Well what do you know...make the phone call and tell your elected official to kill the REALly stupid ID.
