The federal "Real ID Act of 2005" treats U.S. citizens like criminals -- guilty until proven innocent -- by establishing a federal database of all Americans.
And it forces you to carry an ID card containing biometric features.
Gun ownership, health records, purchasing habits, religious beliefs -- virtually everything about you -- could be added to this massive, Dangerous ID database. You and I both know this power will be abused.
Sign the petition below demanding your legislators oppose Real ID in Washington.
---------------------
Whereas: The United States Constitution provides that the federal government is authorized to only exercise those powers enumerated to it in the Constitution; and
Whereas: The Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution provide that all other powers are reserved to the States; and
Whereas: The Real ID Act of 2005 usurps State authority and creates a national database in order to track the private activities of United States citizens; and
Whereas: Federal government officials have abused and mishandled the private information of citizens in the past.
Therefore: I demand you oppose and vote NO on any attempt to force REAL ID on the citizens of Washington.
