H.R. 418

[pants_happy]

this was written by the libertarian committee, and as such this info is obviously not objective. however, since its effects could be enormous, i suggest you take a look, and above all think for yourselves:

 

 

Are the terrorists winning? When al-Qaeda attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, they made it clear they hate America and want to terrorize us into changing America.

 

If they could, the terrorists would destroy the unique American way of life. But they can't. Only we can do that.

 

Tragically, too much of the legislation enacted by Congress in a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 does al-Qaeda's job for them. The Patriot Act took the first, disastrous step toward fundamentally changing our way of life. Then came the homeland security bill, followed by the 9/11 intelligence reorganization bill. And now the Real ID Act of 2005 (H.R. 418) will be voted on Thursday, February 10th.

 

What's wrong with H.R. 418 -- a bill we are told will stem the flow of illegal aliens through our porous borders? For starters, it does NOTHING to stem the flow of illegal aliens. Instead, H.R. 418 will:

 

1. Establish a national ID card.

2. Establish a federally-coordinated database of personal information on American citizens with Canada and Mexico.

3. Use the new national ID to track American citizens when traveling outside the U.S. -- and within the U.S.

4. Re-define "terrorism" in broad new terms that could include members of firearms rights and anti-abortion groups or other such groups as determined by whoever is in power at the time.

5. Authorize the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to unilaterally expand the information included in driver's licenses, including such biometric information as retina scans and DNA information -- and even radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking technology. Carry a driver

A guy came up to me in a bar this other day (this is not a joke) .. and said "the world will end in 5 months, it will start in America" .. maybe he wasn't as mad as I thought at the time!

I always thought that the terrorist where attacking the symbol of the WTO and the military that protects its interest worldwide on 9/11. I really don't think they care much about me or in those couple of days when no one besides the Bin Laden family was aloud to fly out of america, they would have released some sort of "killer gas" or something. Huh, I guess I'll never know
