The whole ID debate is being raised here in the UK too. Labour has proposed the introduction of the system in 2008 also. Long after Blair and Labour are out of power. The chances are that the ID system will not be implemented. Think about it. It's a huge expense to the country, it's a massive breach of privacy, it creates paranoia, and the fact is, it won't actually be as affective as advertised at catching 'bad guys'
Plus there's the added risk of hackers and hemorrhaging of information due to corruption.
surveys here in the UK revealed that the majority of people are against it, and some would not sign on to the ID system, even if it involved a fine.
Whatever happens, it's certainly a very Orwellian concept.

I absolutely will not accept the national id. I am for fighting it in every way I can. I first heard about it from watching documentaries by Aaron Russo and Alex Jones, among others, and I believe that this is just one more step in the New World Order/Globalists plan to enslave us all, and turn this whole world into a police state.

The "Real I D Act"of 2005 was passed by the Republican dominated congress. Since it's passage, many states are rebelling for reasons such as a further invasion of privacy, costs to the states, etc. Hopefully, with Democrats in the majority, it will be repealed.

In the modern computer data age we now live in, consider how much "personal privacy" you really have.
Cell phone companies log your calls' destination, your location and the time - consider also the information the IRS has, the Social Security Administration, your bank where your credit and debit cards are issued and monitored, the sites you visit on the Internet, and on and on it goes.
If you have a problem about a national ID card because of privacy concerns or the potential for abuse, it's not a very valid argument considering the data necessary is already available.
On the flip side, a national ID card has the potential to minimize ID theft, illegal immigration, SS number theft, welfare fraud, numerous crimes and perhaps might even help keep a few terrorists off our soil. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Not sure, I heard Russo speak when I was in Chicago and he urged everyone not to comply with the ID. I still have to look into it to decide.
Ok...read up on it. No way will I comply, even if I have to start riding my bicycle around town. That or move out of the country. This country is turning into something out of a 1950's horror flick.
I was fine with it until I read about the chip inserted to monitor movement and restrict the same. Scary.

I would think the "liberal media" would be covering this a little more.
Do you have sources citing the date on this?
I am not in favor of a National Id card, I think perhaps a microchip in the head or forehead area would be easier.
That way we can all be marked "terrorists" or "non terrorists" make things much easier for Big Brother.
Edit: Okay I have read the link you provided and all I can say is thank GOD for the blue states that have common sense. Scary if it happens but I doubt it will.

Not true. The truth is that the fed gov is requiring a minimum standard for all states to adhere to by May 2008 to prevent ID fraud. The 9/11 hijackers used bogus state ID's to board the planes.

the id card is an identification of who you are, in a way it is a fight against terrorism and i am all for it. if it protects all citizens of a terrorist attack i can see why not . having an id card will also help keep a tab of immigration of who is coming into this country illegally . passports can be forged and having . driving license can also be fake. social security numberrs will not help,all what social security numbers do is having access to your fiancel assets An id card will help keep other people in touch with local laws of an Australian way of life.

It will not be until 2010 and has not been signed into law. It will just standardize and make more secure the driver's license you already have.
