Center Marshals Effort to Stop National ID Card Legislation
Fifty Organizations Come Together to Denounce “Big Brother”
”Right now, a conference committee of House and Senate Republicans is deciding whether or not to do the unthinkable. They would impose a national ID card on citizens of the United States,” warns Tom DeWeese, president of the American Policy Center, adding, “They must hear from us.” ”A national ID card would be Big Brother at its worst. The entire lives of every American, including medical history, job history, marital history, financial history, credit history. Everything could end up in a central federal database. Data about your entire life would be at the fingertips of faceless bureaucrats. ”There is no greater threat to our personal security and liberty than a national ID system,” says DeWeese, who is calling on supporters of the Center to contact seven key Senators and five key Representatives, all Republicans, to have any ID card language stripped from S. 2845 and H.R. 10.
The Center’s Executive Director, Peyton Knight, says, “John McCain has once again wandered off the reservation. Under the guise of fighting terrorism, he and many other Big Brother proponents in the House and Senate are pushing hard to pass a backdoor, de facto, national ID card. This is an unprecedented violation of our privacy rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
