Call to Patriots

Get over to Unreal ID and fax your Senator(s) about opposing legislation for the REAL ID. The site will tell you everything you need to know about this hideous, Communist piece of work. Do it quickly; they're meeting up tomorrow to do their Senator thing. Here's my fax:

Messrs. Saxby and Chambliss,

I'm writing you to urge your support for the Baucus-Tester and Grassley-Baucus amendments to the immigration bill in light of my opposition to the REAL ID legislation.

REAL ID, were it to become law, would push America substantially closer to being a Police State. It would be ineffective at its stated purpose, and would only further bottleneck American daily life - as if the debacle we call "airport security" isn't enough...

Furthermore, REAL ID would be an exorbitantly expensive undertaking in a time when such funds could be used to better ends. REAL ID would cost $8 billion dollars in additional taxes to the citizenry alone.

Perhaps worst of all, the nature of the REAL ID database makes it an egregious violation of privacy - a violation that would endanger all citizens with the very real specter of permanent and irrevocable identity theft.

America is the best country in the world, and it's our job to protect the qualities that make it so. In short, REAL ID would be an unmistakable victory for those who wish to obstruct the day-to-day existence of innocent Americans going about their legal and necessary business.

Please support the Baucus-Tester and Grassley-Baucus amendents to the immigration bill and prevent this ill-conceived disaster from befalling us.
