If you havent gotten it by now, heres some grim news: Obama and his appointees are trying to destroy everything they dont like about our America and thats almost everything.
On May 11, 2005, George Bush signed the REAL ID Act of 2005. It was supposed to control the flow of illegal aliens and terrorists pouring over our borders. Its main feature was tamper proof state drivers licenses which could only be obtained by American citizens and legal aliens.
Obama is trying to kill REAL ID.
His new Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is absolutely opposed to REAL ID. Only last July as governor of Arizona Napolitano she signed a bill exempting her state from having to comply with REAL IDs provisions. Napolitanos job is to kill it nationwide and she will.
REAL ID, full name the Improved Security for Drivers License and Personal Identification Cards was a response to the fact that seven of the nineteen 911 hijackers had real drivers licenses obtained with phony affidavits of residency identity and status. They attacked stupid loopholes REAL ID was designed to plug up.
Nevertheless, when Democrats re-took Congress in 2006, they made certain the money to implement REAL ID was never appropriated and no federal guidelines were issued on how state level implementation would be accomplished. Consequently, even those states that wanted to enact REAL ID found doing so a legally tricky proposition.
Now it probably will never be funded or encouraged by Obama.
Although the implementation date was extended to May 11, 2011, it might as well be May 11, 3011.
Ironically Hawaii is readying its own REAL ID. Hawaii intends to demand proof of legal presence in America before issuing a drivers license.
The presidents birth state knows something must be done, but apparently its favorite son doesnt.

Nappy was soft on the border when she was guv here.
Governor Sanford of SC is very conservative and against the REAL ID because it is basically a national identification card. I am very much against it and am glad that Gov. Sanford stood his ground in opposing it.
There is a massive drug war going on in the border towns. Napolitano said herself that the only place with more kidnappings then Mexico is Phoenix.
So to fix this, she is going to support Amnesty, make sure there is no wall at the border and kill READ ID.
And not one Republican sees a problem with this?
She just doing nationally what she did in Arizona..
Real ID Act needs to be shot ! I don’t like Nappy for DHS secretary but this is one thing O would support her on but other things she has done such as AZ speed cameras, she needs to be taken to task for that.
Being a conservative republican I am also very much against this crap.

It can’t die soon enough for me.
OK, I’ll bite. What is wrong with having to prove legal residency in order to drive or vote in this country?
