States were given three years to comply with the REAL ID Act, which was signed into law May 11.

At least one state appears to be getting on the ball.

I have a hard time believing that the bill will pass, and that many states will go along with the REAL ID ACT..

I probably would have had that opinion before yesterday, but after hearing what the people at the Voters Rights rally on Saturday, said....I don't think anything will be passed that has to do with MORE regulation on minorities...

When you have Nancy Pelosi, most of the Cong. Black Caucas, Jesse Jackson et. al, out saying that it is WRONG to ask people to have to show a picture ID to vote, even though the state of Georgia said it would send people to resident's homes and make a picture ID for FREE!!!, there is no hope in this country....

Regulations are good...they help ensure civility and a lawful society. If there are no regulations, you have Baghdad, or Nuevo Laredo...or any number of cities that have wanton violence in the streets...

BUT, according to the Dem Party----and some REPS, it would be "insensitive" and "race hating" to require these regulations...and besides the politicians in power to make these changes are AFRAID of the minorities....and need their votes...
