Real ID is an International Biometric ID Card
Written by Ernest Hancock Subject: Police StateToday is our first round in our fight
to take back our freedoms and this I the biggest OK we can give to those of us
who think we are only cattle.
The Real ID Act of 2005
I have important information on it if
you want it to use to get informed on this and to inform others. The most
Disturbing thing that even surprised me is that this is not a National ID card
but an International ID
Mark Lerner was one of the people
working on the Read ID Act when his eyes were opened to what this was going to
be used for.
Here is only a part of the
information I can send you when you ask but this is something we cannot wait on
and some we can do right now. So tell your friends or anyone else what is
happen.
REAL
ID-BIOMETRIC FACT SHEET
Final Rules
The Final
Chapter in a Systematic Plan for a Single Global Biometric ID
System
Submitted
by the STOP REAL ID COALITION –an association of concerned
citizens
The
REAL ID ACT of 2005 does not create a national ID card but an INTERnational
BIOMETRIC ID card
The world is
being enrolled into a single global biometric ID system through driver’s
license/ID cards (DL/ID cards),
passports and
other ID documents. Biometrics, like facial recognition, digital fingerprinting
and iris recognition, are
already being
used by many states and nations. The federal government attempted to impose
biometrics on state ID in
1986i. International biometric plans were laid
in 1995ii. Both predate 9/11. The biometrics
required by REAL ID,
other
security laws, initiatives, treaties and agreements, are not needed tools
against terrorism, but the fulfillment of a
global
biometric ID system.
On March
1st, 2007 REAL
ID’s “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” (NPRM) was issued, revealing REAL ID’s
global
biometric
connectioniii. The three main entities driving this
system are:
1. The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)
2. The
American Association ofMotor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA)
3. The
International CivilAviation Organization (ICAO)
AAMVA is an international
association of motor vehicle and law enforcement officialsiv. AAMVA is responsible for
international
biometric DL/ID card standards and an international information sharing
agreement, the “Driver License
Agreement”
(DLA)v. Themost recent AAMVA DL/ID standard is
the 2005 “Personal
Identification –AAMVA
International Specification- DL/ID Card
Design.vi”This DL/ID standard, DLA and other
document standards are
requirements,
cited in REAL ID HR418vii and/or NPRMviii. AAMVA’s
influence over international, federal and state
DL/ID card
laws is evident in REAL ID (mentioned 30 times in NPRMand 150 times in REAL ID

A Letter from A Ron Paul
Supporter
Dear Friends,
This is a supplement to what I sent you about the Real ID act*, and the opportunity for us to convince our Assemblymen and Senators to opt out of it here in California , if done before May 11.
I looked up the numbers, wrote up something, and called both my Assemblyman and my State Senator's offices (both Democratic)
The response was interested, cordial, not hasty -- and both receptionists thanked me for calling them - they wanted details on the bill I was supporting - the number and what it was called,(AJR 51 by Assemblyman Pedro Nava), my name and phone number. The Assembly office wanted my address and email address, too. The Senate office said, in addition," I really appreciate your calling. It would help if you write and send emails also."
This corroborates what I have heard before: Assemblymen do not receive many calls from their constituents, so they get the impression we don't care what they do!
And when someone does call, they really appreciate it . This probably means that one person calling is really speaking for hundreds more voters who don't call.
A few people calling can make a difference. So don't conclude that your call will not have an effect. It will. One extra call could well be the one that pushes the assemblyman over the top to vote in a certain way. If they have support from a few voters who represent actually many more than that, they can stand up to lobbyists by saying,’” well, my constituents don't want that."
So, give it a try. I had to overcome some resistance to do it, but I'm so glad I did. Emails are still effective, faxes and letters more so, but calls have the greatest impact I think, especially on a State level. And all three or four are even better.

I've only just learned about Biometric ID since my driver's license is about to expire in 2 weeks and I've heard I must now get a 'Real ID'.. I live in Arizona now but my license was issued in Maryland. Is there any way to opt out? Thank you!
