REPEALING REAL ID NOW A REAL POSSIBILITY

Free Market News reports that repealing the REAL ID ACT is a possibility.

Here's a part of the article:

State governments are also required to share data between themselves so that a person born in one state can have his or her birth certificate electronically verified in another. There's a very real concern that this entire system of electronic verification will be extremely vulnerable to hackers, providing what "Information Week" has called "one-stop-shopping" for identity thieves.

Given how much the states are already being burdened financially, these technical difficulties may be insurmountable. As things stand now, state governments are expected to comply with the REAL ID Act in less time than it took the Department of Homeland Security to write the initial regulations.


My hope is that the more Americans know about REAL ID, the less chance it has of becoming a reality in our lives.

You can help defeat this legislation that undermines the Bill of Rights by going here.
