-------- Original Message -------- Subject: 5 days left to tell DHS to STOP REAL ID Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 13:40:41 -0400 From: Guilherme Roschke <roschke@private> To: Declan McCullagh <declan@private> Declan, For politech: A broad coalition of organizations across the United States is urging the public to submit comments rejecting the illegal national identification system created under the Department of Homeland Security's REAL ID program: http://www.privacycoalition.org/stoprealid/ The website has links to portals for web submissions, as well as how to fax your comments. Also included are sample comments such as: "The plan will create a massive national identification system without adequate privacy and security safeguards. It will also make it more difficult for people to get driver's licenses. And it will make it too easy for identity thieves, stalkers, and corrupt government officials to get access to such personal information as a home address, age, and Social Security number." We urge your readers to submit their comments, and to tell their friends and allies to do so as well. Comments are due May 8th at 5pm. -gr -- Guilherme Roschke Skadden Fellow Domestic Violence and Privacy Project Electronic Privacy Information Center http://www.epic.org/privacy/dv/ (202) 483-1140 x124 _______________________________________________ Politech mailing list Archived at http://www.politechbot.com/ Moderated by Declan McCullagh (http://www.mccullagh.org/)
