Rep. Ron Paul continues to fight against Natl ID
http://www.theconservativevoice.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4131

Ron Paul{R} Texas is a Republican fighting for personal Liberties and against the bushevik police state...


by Rep. Ron Paul

"Mr. Speaker:

I rise in strong opposition to HR 418, the REAL ID Act. This bill purports to make us safer from terrorists who may sneak into the United States, and from other illegal immigrants. While I agree that these issues are of vital importance, this bill will do very little to make us more secure. It will not address our real vulnerabilities. It will, however, make us much less free. In reality, this bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to offer desperately needed border control in order to stampede Americans into sacrificing what is uniquely American: our constitutionally protected liberty.

H.R. 418 does what legislation restricting firearm ownership does. It punishes law-abiding citizens. Criminals will ignore it. H.R. 418 offers us a false sense of greater security at the cost of taking a gigantic step toward making America a police state."


Bush and the neo-khans capitalized on the 9/11 tragedy by removing freedoms ,starting wars and looting the treasury


BK jr "bush is worst,most immoral pres in US History"

GWB:" There ought to be limits to freedom"

3. Not so sure
Sure the supposed purpose of this bill is to provide a false sense of security.... national IDs aren't so bad.... got em in Brazil (course I lost mine) It can be used for age identification.... you know deter fake IDs... people never know how to detect fakes from other states... if you have a national one, its much easier.
