Six States Defy Law on ID Cards
By Thomas Frank
USA Today

...."The people of New Hampshire are adamantly opposed to any kind of 'papers-please' society reminiscent of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia," said Neal Kurk, a Republican state representative from New Hampshire. "This is another effort of the federal government to keep track of all its citizens."

June 19) -- Six state legislatures are defying a federal law requiring new driver's licenses that aim to prevent identity theft, fraud and terrorism.

The states have passed laws in the past two months, saying the federal law has a steep cost and invades privacy by requiring 240 million Americans to get highly secure licenses by 2013. The 9/11 Commission urged the first standards for licenses to stop fraud and terrorists such as the Sept. 11 hijackers, who lied on residency statements to get licenses and state IDs.

Lawmakers in Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Washington say new standards would be expensive to implement and result in a national ID card that compromises privacy. The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates that it will cost states more than $11 billion.
..........etc.

New Hampshire said it all..Hope more states step up to defy this law.

1. Massachusetts should be on this list too. Note to state Reps:

Get busy and get our state on this list. We don't need Uncle Sam tracking us...and that is what this is all about. It fits right in with all the other masterful plans the repub's have to control our freedom.

I've about had it. I'm old and grey and ready to march. When are we going to get together and make our feelings known? I went to the impeachment gathering last month in Boston and there were precious few in attendance. Why could we as a people make our "anti" feelings known during the Vietnam war but this time, with things in worse shape than ever, we sit on our hands.

2. I hear you my friend..I also wonder where the unity is, and

wonder what will cure the apathy and acceptance of "status quo' existing in our America.

I too am greying and not getting any younger, but I will stand in protest with you.

States NEED to be considering the point made by New Hampshire.

"papers please" is not a free society
