Activist starts petition to oppose RFID tagging of homeless [priv]

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

I wish Sheri well, but the original post to Politech back on Apr. 1 was 
of course an April Fools Day hoax (as I said in the initial message, and 
in a followup message as well). See:

Dear Declan,

As you may very well know, its not just UPI's
credibility on the line here; the government can make
your life a living hell for exposing truths like this,
the least of which is watching you by satellite, the
most, electronic torture.  Perhaps that is why you
declared this article an April Fool's joke.  This does
not help me as I inform coalitions for the homeless of
the perils of this brave new world.  I really wish we
had something to back this up.  Nonetheless, I have
started a petition which can be read at:
