I'm on it! I hate the real ID! yikes!

You know, Bush is letting columbian workers in the country, as their president (the columbians) is allowing them to be microchipped.

I will do so as well. Both Rep and Dems should fight this.

and the war against the government was started by keeping our asses in front of computer

when a bunch a freaks that scare them own identity.......

and cover them self under anonymity and avatars.......

start punching the computer screen and clicking the mouse with madness

Wonderful inspirational women in here, thank you for your guiding!!

I must just say...
that I will post information about Internet-trolls..
they are nasty *smile*

They say very provoking things just to stur up emotions,
to start discussions with only one goal -
to make people get off track, off subject.

Never mind that.. its just a sandpit : )
Dont focus on "stupid" obviously and aimed provoking bs,
since that easily will lead to their desired goal - OFF TRACK ; )

Im not against opposite opinions..
just how they are presented and where that will lead..
Please be aware, since that will help you avoid getting upset : )

Blessings and YES I will repost this in my blog,
and I will post it in my swedish blog too..
Since your government is tight up our as - on all of the worlds citizens...

But brainfucked, no thank you, Ive had enough of the american way.
Still, remember, that I love the people and YOUR rights are cherished.

I will comment on one of the links. This is definitely for a good cause. I applaud you for your efforts.

done.

>>DHS has no power in decision-making about this policy."

I agree. This is a total waste. A nice thought, but they are not the ones who decide policy on this issue. If you are not directing this towards the policy makers, then you are at best wasting your time, and at worst going to end up on a data base and STILL not accomplish anything.

Here's how it works -- and I have to do stuff like this more often than I care to really think about.... ;)

DHS drafted the current proposed rule to implement the Real ID Act. If no one says anything during the comment period, DHS will say that the public is fine with Real ID, and fine with all of the privacy invasive decisions contained in their draft rule.

If we get many people to comment, and the comments are all (or mostly all) negative, they can't say we don't care, and certainly can't say that we approve of their bad privacy and security decisions.

Either way, DHS **is** responsible for coming up with the rule that implements the Real ID Act. No one else has the responsibility to do this. If this rule is not adopted, DHS has to go back to the drawing board and come up with another draft rule. If that happens, we have another 30 or 60 days to try to convince Congress to repeal the law.

And make no mistake about it -- the states are very leery about implementing the Act. Some of the states care about the privacy and security issue, most all of them care about the cost issue. $20 billion is a lot of money.

So, it's most definitely NOT a waste.

I've seen these campaigns work before. The biggest one I've seen involved Secure Flight -- a passenger profiling system that the US wanted.

DHS and DoT published a draft rule in the Federal Register and it was practically in code. No where in the notice was Secure Flight mentioned. We had to figure it out, and we did. We commented it to death, we hit all of the press we could, and basically forced them to convene a committee (DHS put it together). A scathing report was issued, and guess what? Secure Flight was killed. It's still dead.

We still have CAPS, and terrible as it is,it's not as bad as Secure Flight. At one point, Secure Flight would have required credit checks and criminal background checks of everyone before you could fly. Can you imagine? Even to the end, they wanted to color code everyone (red=no fly, yellow=search till within an inch of your life, green= good to go).

But this is why I see Real ID as winnable. I've seen this pattern before....
