ACTION ALERT

October 22, 2004

Establishing a national ID and building a national database to hold information on every man, woman and child in the U.S., has been a priority of big-government elites for years. Those elites are just about to get their way. Those of us who strongly object to their plans for us and want to preserve the American way of life had better act today.

Two weeks ago, we alerted you to the U.S. House’s vote on H.R. 10 – The 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act. That act takes the final step to establishing a national ID to track American citizens and authorize the creation of a national database to hold the information collected. Unfortunately, H.R. 10 passed in the House. In a slightly different version, it also passed in the Senate. Now, a House-Senate conference committee is meeting to iron out those differences and come up with a final version.

Gun Owners of America, a leading opponent of the national ID and master database, today alerted Americans that H.R. 10 would:

  1. Create a master database containing personal information on every American man, woman and child (section 2173). The content of this database would be within the exclusive discretion of the bureaucrats, but could include medical records, confidential financial records, library records and gun records.
  2. “Standardize” or nationalize the process of issuing state driver’s licenses – an action which takes the final step in creating a national ID (section 3052).

With a national ID, master database, and the new powers granted by Patriot Acts I and II, politicians and bureaucrats, in office today and in the future, will have unchecked access and power over the American people.

We must stop the national ID. Please do three things:

  1. Urge your U.S. representative to get the House-Senate conference committee to remove the provisions that will create a national ID and master database. Use this link to send your message:

  2. Urge House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to intervene and get those two provisions removed. His office telephone number is 202-225-4000 and fax number is 202-225-5117. An e-mail form is at

  3. Spread the word. Forward the following link to family and friends:
    The Liberty Committee - Supporting Americans in Military and Lease Matters

The House-Senate conference committee will continue to meet over the weekend. Therefore, we must act today to get the committee to remove the national ID and master database provisions before the House and Senate vote on the final version. That vote might take place as early as Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

this is bullshit…it doesnt create a national id. It says that the national government can sent mandatory features of drivers licenses so that they are more uniform. I believe the features stipulated include, picture, birthday, physical charactersitics, and security feature…i.e what most states already have…this is just to get the lagging states (my home state of NJ being one of them, to catch up with modernity.

Well…if you say so. No one is forcing you to believe it or do anything about it. The Liberty Committee is a group of representatives (including two of the three who voted AGAINST the prohormone ban), who support strict limitations on the federal government. They are all very responsible Members of Congress who are deeply concerned about loss of freedom and growth of government, and it would be fairly reasonable to assume that they are aware of what they are voting on. I am just passing along information. I notice you made no mention of the proposed database. That bothers me more than the Nat’l ID. Hillary would have a field day.
