Biometric Social Security Cards

Senator Chuck Schumer wants to amend the immigration bill to require
you to get a new Social Security card with biometric information
embedded in it. Creating this new card would . . .

* Cost $9 billion (before the usual government cost over-runs) *
Require the Social Security administration to hire an additional
60,000 employees * Require you to spend time getting the new card *
Require you to give the central government sensitive personal
information

In the past only criminals had to supply the state with things like
fingerprints, DNA, or retinal scans. Now, if Schumer gets his way,
law abiding citizens will have to do it too, just for the privilege
of earning a living. Meanwhile . . .

The people this card is supposed to control will continue to live
underground, work on the black market without papers, or forge
documents. The real control will be over you, not them.

So why does Schumer want this Biometric Social Security card on top
of the REAL ID?

It could be because the REAL ID Act is in big trouble and the
politicians are looking for an alternative that doesn't require the
cooperation of state governments. After all . . .

New Hampshire just voted to NOT COOPERATE with the REAL ID
requirement!

This New Hampshire decision is a big victory for our side, but a
real challenge to Big Brother politicians like Schumer. Biometric
Social Security cards may soon take the place of the REAL ID, unless
we stop the whole thing dead in its tracks, right now.

This Biometric Social Security card is evidence that the politicians
are going to come at us from all angles. If they can't come in
through the door (REAL ID), then they'll try to come in through a
window (Biometric Social Security cards). We need to use the same
tactic to defeat this tactic, fighting fire with fire.

We need to attack these Big Brother proposals from all angles.
That's why we're devoting the entire week to defeating the
immigration bill. We need for you to send a new message about this
each day. Every message will ask the Senate to oppose the
immigration bill as a whole. But then . . .

In your personal comments we want to ask you to add a specific
objection -- a different one for each day. Yesterday we asked you to
tell your Senators that . . .

You've heard rumors that earmarks are being offered in return for
voting yes on the immigration bill, and you're going to be very
ANGRY if that turns out to be true. If you sent this message
yesterday, thank you. If you did not, please do so now HERE.

Today, send another message, and use your personal comments to ask
your Senators to oppose Senator Schumer's Biometric Social Security
Card amendment. You can do so HERE.

Tomorrow we'll be back with another message for you to send on this
issue. In the meantime, could we ask you to put in a little extra
effort today, and also send a message calling for the repeal of the
REAL ID Act. Tell them you know New Hampshire has refused to
participate, and you think it's time to just repeal REAL ID
entirely. You can send that message HERE.

This is important because the more objections the Senate receives to
national ID card schemes the more likely it is that the REAL ID Act
will be repealed, that provisions related to it will be stripped
from the immigration bill, and that Schumer's Biometric Social
Security Card amendment will also be defeated.

You can send your "Repeal the REAL ID Act" message HERE.

PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE. Almost no one
is going to like the idea of a Biometric Social Security card, and
we need everyone's help to defeat them.

Finally, the Producers of "9/11 Press for Truth" have given us
permission to post the video on our website, where you can watch it,
and make your own evaluation of it for free. The video is posted
here.

If you would like to have a "9/11 Press for Truth" DVD mailed to
your home, here's how to get it . . .

If you're an existing monthly credit card pledger in good standing
as of June 15, 2007, all you have to do is increase your monthly
pledge by at least $1, and we'll send one to you.

If you're NOT an EXISTING monthly credit card pledger then you can
start a monthly credit card pledge of at least $6, or make a
one-time credit card donation of $35 or more, and we'll send you the
DVD. (Sorry, for technical reasons we cannot make this offer for
PayPal pledges or donations).

You can make your contribution here.

Thank you for being a DC Downsizer.
