An elderly friend is concerned. She heard about this over the radio. Heard that President Bush pushed legislation through that requires all to have this card by 2008.

I also heard that. It's the national ID card. And it will be used WITH your State's DL. But they also said.....those states not requiring it's citizens to have a NATIONAL ID card...will NOT be able to vote...nor will they be allowed in any Federal Buildings.
"Your papers please"......didn't they do that in Germany...thanks to Hitler? Someone tell me how that doesn't make Bush any better than Hitler.

The government doesn't care about the illegals and drug smugglers. That's why there's 30million illegals in the US right now. Thinking that if they brought back 1000 a day for a year, they'll accomplish nothing. With open borders like we have right now, they're free to get homes, jobs, cars and pretty much whatever they want. The proposed National ID card has been implimented as a drivers license. Though this one's going to require a thumbprint. And like Texas Rose said, without it you won't be able to do much. After that goes through, then comes the RFID chip. Then we're pretty much under their control.

Your friend should be more worried about those that don't have a card and are criminals, drug smugglers and illegals, in our country illegally. Everyone has to have a social security card but they are not secure and have stolen the identities of many citizens resulting in long and expensive battles for those whose identities have been stolen. Getting a card to protect you, shouldn't be any problem for anyone. I'm sure your elderly friend has a social security card this would protect her against lose of income.

Considering that the Federal Labor Laws are being ignored due to the mass confusion generated by the States, a Federal unified Card is a great and overdo requirement!
Not to mention, many stores in Texas will not sell alcohol to people with out of State Id's!

Ususally that is handled by the state. Maybe she got a little confused. Everyone who does not drive or have a license because usually gets a substitute and that is a State of ____ ID. Before my son's learned to drive, they had these as well. It is totally understandable to need something to identify ones self, especiallyt without a drivers license. But as long as there is a DL, then not to worry. If not, she can get a State ID card from the local Secretary of State office, same as a driver's license.

Most countries issue identity cards to their citizens.
Either that or an under-the-skin transponder chip, as we do with some of our beloved pets.

Isn't that called a Driver's License or Social Security card. You need to clarify your question.

since 9/11 the world changed. some say better, some say worse, and still others who say it is still the same.
every dictatorship seeking control of its subjects introduced a card for reference to individuals. hitler did too.
now it is coming again. welcome to the orwellian world
