THE REAL ID ACT 2005 AND THE WOLF DRESSED IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING
A.K.A.: THE PASS ACT - S.1261

- - - News Video follows article - - -

I have spent the last few days burning up the phone lines discussing the newly proposed “PASS Act”. I have had conversations with organizations around the country about the PASS Act. I have also spoke with staff committee people and others in Washington D.C. about the PASS Act.

Both the ACLU and the ACLJ are opposing the Real ID Act and the PASS Act. (The ACLU and the ACLJ are the most prominent legal organizations on the ”left” and “right” respectively.)

Special interests groups are trying to force Democrats, Independents and Republicans to support this legislation. States have been and are working to ensure driver’s licenses are secure documents and have document integrity. The federal government, in spite of the states, wants to set international standards that are not needed. The federal government wants control of your state driver’s license. The federal government is bribing states to go along with its plans.

Our freedom and our rights are not for sale.

Some governors want to take the bribe money. The First, Fourth and Tenth Amendments are under attack. The Second Amendment will follow. This is not a partisan issue. All Americans must take action now. Phone numbers are provided at the end of this email. 16 calls per American, 16 minutes (one minute per call) for a Lifetime of Freedom.

* The PASS Act does not repeal the Real ID Act. It does repeal provisions of the Real ID Act; those provisions that are included in Title II of the Real ID Act 2005. The Real ID Act is still intact and is federal law.

* The PASS Act contains many of the most egregious aspects of the Real ID Act; including the requirement for a digital facial image/photograph that will be mandated to be internationally facial recognition compatible.

* There is not a federal law that prohibits the simultaneous use of CCTV/surveillance cameras and facial recognition technology in real time.

* The PASS Act will do nothing to provide a higher level of National security. Under the provisions of the PASS Act the documents used to obtain a driver’s license are not authenticated. These documents are called “breeder” documents.

* Although requirements for new databases and the linking of databases are not part of the PASS Act the fact remains through aamva.net and NLETS states can still have information contained in their state Department of Motor Vehicles made available to both federal and international law enforcement agencies without a court order.

* Two international agencies (AAMVA and the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations) were involved in U.S. policy and law - the Real ID Act 2005 and the newly proposed PASS Act. DHS has called AAMVA the “hub” and “backbone” of the Real ID Act. On AAMVA’s own web-site it proclaims it is an international organization that serves law enforcement and motor vehicle administrators.

* Both the Real ID Act and the PASS Act result in Americans being enrolled into a single global biometric identification system that links a person’s body to their ability to buy and sell.

We are running out of time. Calls must be made ASAP.

The senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will be considering the legislation very soon. The committee members and their phone numbers are listed below. Ask your neighbors, friends, co-workers, relatives and everyone else you have contact with to make the calls as well.

WE ARE ASKING EVERY AMERICAN TO CALL EACH OF THE SENATORS BELOW AND SAY:

1. We are opposed to the Real ID Act and the PASS Act

2. We are opposed to being enrolled into a biometric identification system

3. We do not want our social security numbers in state DMV databases

4. We do not want RFID chips in our drivers licenses

5. We are opposed to the federal government intervening in the issuance of state driver’s licenses

I am amazed, there are no other mention of this horrendous bill anywhere else on Free-Republic. Nor are there any other responses on this thread?

I can understand the shame-stream liberal controlled media but, Free-Republic?
