Say No to the REAL ID Act
Rep. James R. Sensenbrenner (R-WI) has revived a PATRIOT-like bill called "The REAL ID Act" that expands the government's ability to keep medical records, including about who has and has not received vaccines, label people terrorists, creates a massive, and linked federal database out of state Driver's License databases. It will allow the federal government to restrict a person from using air, bus and train transportation if they do not receive federally mandated vaccines by claiming that they are health hazards to the public.
The bill passed easily in the House and a sneaky rider was added to make its passage in the Senate easier. It's critical to mobilize now to stop the REAL ID from coming to the Senate floor. As the PATRIOT Act proved, once Congress approves an expansion of federal policing powers, it's extremely difficult to roll them back.
This ACLU website opposition to this bill does not mention the medical implications or theft identity but it is the only site I know that makes it easy to oppose this bill:
Urge your Senators to oppose the REAL ID Act of 2005.
