Many states are fighting the intrusive and unwelcome Real ID Card slated for 2008.

Like a customer who resists the high- pressure tactics of a salesman purely because he doesn’t want the product, states are trying their best to say No to the gonna-ram-it-down-yer-throat tactics when it comes to modifying driver’s licenses next year to join a central database in addition to state databases.

High on the list of problems is the budget. Initially projected to be an unfunded mandate of $13 million for states to implement the thing, the compulsory National Identification Card is now swollen to an unfunded mandate of a whopping $11 billion, according to various sources – namely states resisting it.

Our sovereign authority and liberty – our greatest wealth – must be pushed aside for dependency to work at all, and the or-else mandate to join a cental database does just that. (Dependency on agencies works only when independence is blocked, because independence can take care of itself.)

Part of the problem is salesmanship - arm-twisting - the kind where Washington pushes and pushes and doesn’t take No for an answer.

What in the world do they really have planned?

Well, we don’t care what they have planned; we don’t have to be certain of anything and we don’t have to prove anything: all we need do is size it up in our own opinion, and if we don’t like it, we don’t like it. That’s the beauty of America. No means No. Not for every single kind of issue, but for this issue.

States fighting the thing include Montana, Texas, Maine, some folks in California, I think, Hawaii, Oregon, New Hampshire, maybe a few more if they get it.

Stay on top of it with the latest by entering Real ID Card as an alert term for e-mail notification of as-it-happens news on the thing from your favorite search engine.

As always, the imposition is to cooperate with no guarantees of protection against anticipated hazards and shortcomings. In fact, the entire coercion of transforming independence into dependency on agencies and their central database occurs time after time with positively no assurances, no promises. We have the compulsory surrender of our independence, while we’re still stuck with the responsibilities.

Dependency.

And who could rationally assure there won’t be any major problems? Nobody. Nobody rational, that is.

[One example is with Tommy Thompson, member of a major RFID Chip maker, who refuses to take his own chip implant after he'd announced that he would at a specific time and place. Many folks in the RFID industry refuse to take a chip implant.]

The pressure of the salesman is for citizens (states) to go with the program or-else. And this is the or-else part: according to The Austin American Statesman, [see www.statesman.com] if states don’t comply with the new rules, the feds have promised to stop honoring their drivers licenses as ID at airports and other places.

Very patriotic.

Tom Davis [R-Va] wrote to Homeland Security, as reported by, appropriately, Government Computer News: “Recognizing that the Real ID program was enacted to protect the American people from possible terrorists using drivers’ licenses to board planes, open bank accounts and acquire jobs, the refusal of implementation by any state is potentially problematic,” Davis wrote to Chertoff. “Because DHS has not issued the congressionally mandated standards for the program, it is important for Congress to learn the status of implementation of the REAL ID Act directly from you and your staff.”

Uh-huh. Well, let me give you a quote: “No!”

And when instructing our elected representatives doesn’t work, then our sovereignty is not enough. This is what a free people fear most: abuse of due process.

Conspiracy theories of what it must all be for evaporate to become clear-eyed, rational opposition when viewed objectively as sovereignty issues of self-rule and the rights of the citizenry. That’s no conspiracy theory, it’s legal authority to refuse a reality.

I don’t give a hoot what the benefits are, people – if we say we don’t want it, I don’t want to be bothered by further sales tactics or abuse for refusing. In short, our refusal is the Bill of Rights at work, and if No doesn’t mean No, then it proves our fears have come true.

Who needs to see black helicopters when we see that our No doesn’t mean anything? Don’t look for proof in helicopters, look for the confirmation of our sovereignty. Is it still there?

That is problematic!The question is not how the Real ID will be implemented or paid for, but whether it will die on our say-so purely on our sovereign authority.

Will it? It might be good for the country if it just dropped dead. It would be good for sovereignty if No simply means No and it’s respected and the Act repealed. We’re not talking about a constitutional mandate, we’re talking about a bad law imposed not on citizen initiative, but on official initiative against the protests of the people in the form of  whole states’ resolutions. [Search Term Real ID Card.]

It’s not a question of who is smarter or of what the benefits might be – it’s a question of who is in authority and of our right to refuse no matter how dumb we might be. We don’t have to be smart and we don’t even have to be right: we have authority. And that is what makes us right.

As I have said, the National ID and the RFID Chip for human implantation (patented for human implantation since the early seventies) are a test of our sovereignty.

Is No enough?
