HB2632/SB1070 - Not Real ID/National ID? Really...........
• Campaign for LibertyPosted by Andre on 03/19/10 3:38 PM Last updated 03/24/10 12:21 PM addthis_pub = 'CampaignForLiberty'; [Newer: HB2632/SB1070 - Russell Pearce Email Alert 3.23.10] [Older: REAL ID AZ to be voted on WED, 3-17 in AZ HOUSE - SB1070/HB2632] |
Is HB2632/SB1070 really "Real ID", "National ID" or whatever other name they try to hide behind?
Let's see what Mark Lerner of the Constitutional Alliance wrote to State Rep Biggs in an email where Mr. Lerner states unequivocally that "YES, HB2632/SB1070 will create a national ID card/system" for Arizona
Also, let's review Mr. Lerner's impeccable credentials to speak on this issue here, here, and here.
Should you agree with Mr. Lerner's assessment and his ability to speak on this issue, please contact your State Reps and State Sen with a copy of the Lerner/Biggs email and put them on notice that there are serious consequences for supporting any form of Real ID/National ID under any name and that you will remember how they vote come election time.
All PRO-Constitutional elected officials and candidates need to oppose HB2632/SB1070 and all bills that advance Real ID/National ID.

Dear Representative Biggs,
I have
been asked by several people in Arizona to contact you regarding
Senator Pearce legislation. My name is Mark Lerner and I am the
Co-Founder of the Constitutional Alliance. The Alliance is made up of
state lawmakers,national and state groups/organizations and private
citizens.
I am providing two links for the purpose of
illustrating that DHS's own "system" is not working and further that DHS
is failing at securing our borders even at authorized Custom Border
Patrol Checkpoints.

and

With all due respect to Senator Pearce relying on the federal
government's "system" is a recipe for disaster. As long as we as a
country continue to look to the same people (federal government) who
created the problem to resolve the problem we will continue to have to
deal with the problem. It is long past time for states to look for ways
to resolve problems without providing the federal government with more
information/control over each of us.
At the end of the day we,
as a country, will have to create a hub system that will allow for the
issuing agencies of driver's licenses to authenticate the birth
certificates of those applying for driver's licenses directly with the
issuing agency or deportment of the birth certificates. Each birth
certificate will have to be sequentially numbered starting with the two
letter abbreviation of the state. An example being: AZ00030001000567.
That number would go into the "system" as active. If anyone attempted
to use that birth certificate to obtain a driver's license the "system"
would show that birth certificate/number was active and already used to
acquire a driver's license. If a person attempted to use a
"counterfeit" birth certificate with a fraudulent number the "system"
would show that the number and/or birth certificate were not authentic.
It is noteworthy that both the Real ID Act 2005 and PASS ID Act
call for an authentication process for birth certificates, I do not
oppose such a system but rather support it because it could be done
without the need to provide information either to or through the federal
government. States would have complete control of the "system". The
hub itself would not retain any information but rather act only as a
conduit. I would admit that in a very few instances birth certificates
would not be available. In those instances other breeder documents
should be able to satisfy place of birth or citizen status. It is also
true there may have to be rare instances where immigration status would
have to be resolved. This would be the very rare exception and not the
rule and thus would not create a national identification system.
I
respectfully disagree with Senator Pearce. His legislation would
create a "national" ID card/system. The mere fact that before a license
or identification card can be issued a "check" or approval of the
federal government is required creates a national identification
"system" or card.
I have testified on the "issue" of Real ID
and the issuance of identification documents in many states around the
country. Additionally I have been afforded the opportunity to present
testimony to Congress. I have also met with and convinced the ACLJ to
address the issue of the Real ID Act 2005. Although I primarily work
with "Conservative" Republicans I also work with Democrats on this issue
and other related issues.
I am providing several documents as
attachments that I believe will establish my credibility on this issue.
