Just to emphasize. This is big. This is the same bill that has a
clause that gives SWEEPING supra-constitutional and extra-judicial
powers to the head of the Dept. of Homeland Security (that Chertoff
guy!!!!). This is dirty and lowdown.

PLEASE FORWARD TO INTERESTED FRIENDS
House to vote on HR 418 on Wednesday. That's
tomorrow!
HR 418 would take the next step toward establishing a
national identification card, controlled by the Feds.
This is the undone part of the Intelligence
Consolidation Bill we fought just a couple of months
ago, sponsored by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner's (R-WI).
Here's how the American Policy Center described this
dangerous bill:
* H.R. 418 would require the linking of all state
driver's license databases -- thereby creating one
massive database harnessing the private details of
every U.S. citizen. It also would force all states
to subscribe to the "Driver's License Agreement,"
which would make the contents of this database
available to bureaucrats in Canada and Mexico.
* H.R. 418 would require all state driver's licenses
to have a common machine-readable technology,
including a digital photo of the card holder.
* The database may grow to contain far more than
simply information relevant to driving. H.R. 418
gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the
unprecedented power to dictate what data states
collect for license holders. This could include
virtually anything, including fingerprints
and/or eye retina scans known as "eye-prints."
Please go to
http://www.DownsizeDC.org and click on the link
to the top campaign on the page titled, "House to
Vote on National ID Card." Send your Representative a
message to vote NO on HR 418. Please act now. Time is
short.
