Infringement on our rights as citizens?

Three years ago a bill was passed (without the vote of the Senate) to implement a new ID card that will replace our drivers license.



With this ID card, there will be a chip inside it that is scanned and will give whoever scanned it access to all of our information. Our names, addresses, social security numbers, work information, our credit scores, etc... In essence, buying groceries, you'll have to scan your ID card to pay, so that teller will know all your information. The ID cards also have a tracking chip implanted in them so the government knows where you are AT ALL TIMES.

They know what isle in the store you're walking down!

This is not joke, you can find more information on this passed bill at the ACLU website.



There are 10 states that have said, "NO," we're not implementing this ID card into our state, and a few others that are saying no, unless they're forced. Utah is one state that is against this implementation.



Hillary Clinton, and Obama, are both against implementing this into our country, but McCain is for it.



We're prided in this country for our ability to keep our privacy. We value our freedoms and privacy, and now the government wants to create a cookie-cutter, robot-living, Minority Report-like life for all its citizens.



What can we do to help? Write to your congressmen and tell them you are against this implementation. Our representatives are there to speak tfortheir constituents (we, the people), so raise your voices high, and let's fight this. I like my privacy, and I assume you do, too.



Utterly disgusted
