Tomorrow, the Senate is voting on a new national ID card system. Any time a government official stops you (ex. for a speeding ticket) you would have to present your “Real ID”. Want to apply for a job? Well, you’ll need to present your “Real ID”. (This is getting tacked onto the who immigration legislation debacle.)

I highly recommend that you fax your Senator using this handy site: Stop Real ID. Do it now, since they are voting on this next week.

I’m usually not a tin-foil-hat guy, but I have no intention of showing my “papers” as I drive from state to state. That’s a big reason why I’ve given up flying.
