Dave,

Citizen:

We have less than 48 hours to stop our nation from having a National  
ID card
scheme.  Do we really want to have the same ID system as Communist  
China?  I
think not.

The US Senate is scheduled to vote this Tuesday on the Real ID Act.   
They've
never debated the bill.  Most of them haven't even bothered to read it.
Nevertheless, they're going to pass it: unless we do something to  
stop them

Real ID is a very, very real national identification card.

This isn't going to be easy, but we need to put the Senate on notice  
that if
they vote for Real ID, they're voting in favor of a National ID Card.

Take immediate action:
