With out destroying the card?
I know we will need to have the card on us to show that our azz was born in the usa, but how can you, without damage to the card, make the microchip strip stop tracking your every move?

The best way to damage a microchip is to short it. Basicly shock it so that it burns out. Just don't put so much current or you might get smoke and burn the card.

I don't know what tracking device (if any) will be used but a coarse form of tracking is feasible without recourse to storing anything on the card itself.
Any time the card is presented and scanned, the details of when and where that happened could (and probably would) be sent to a national database. That sort of tracking could not be circumvented.
Any on-card tracking, using GPS systems, could easily be foiled by keeping the card in a shielding wallet of some kind (lead or antimagnetic). The signals received and given out by a card are of necessity weak because a card cannot have an on-board battery which would last its lifetime, so power must always come from a nearby inductive source.
There are many other tracking sytems which are actually more feasible. For example, if you carry a mobile phone (which an increasing number of people do) this can be routinely tracked - and is. This fact has led to evidence in several cases of murder and abduction already.

I don't know about a gov't ID card, but a credit card can be screwed up with a magnet. In a lot of truck stops, they have these magnetic scanners and if you run a credit card over it, it screws it up. They use the scanners to demagitize the security tabs they have on merchandise. I know, I worked in a truck stop and screwed up a customers card. OOOPPPSSS

Highpowered magnet. Place it "Accidently" next to your ipod for an extended amount of time, then shock it with a few shock of static electricity then you place it on one of those things that they say to keep your credit cards away from.

Use your strongest magnet to attach it to the back of the fridge over night. Put the magnet on the black strip.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your mind it will creep. Do you really think that you or me or anyone else is really all that important to be tracked as a individual by the government? I don't.

Microwave it. Just don't nuke it long enough that it catches fire.
