This law really is scary stuff. It needs to be repealed.

You may not be able to leave the country

When it gets harder to leave the country then it is to get I think we have a problem.

The government is not mandating you to do anything. You can sit your house, travel between states, do whatever floats your boat BY YOURSELF, and you won’t have any issues.

I have a friend who grew up in a communist country. He told me that the Nazis instituted ID requirements when they took over his country. The communists loved it and kept it on.

Yeah, right. Communism was a paradise until the Nazis invaded!

I resent the whole ID card thing.

Who are you? Show me some id.

Up yers that’s who I am.

Yeah, let's make it easier for someone to board a plane anonymously. Let's have meaningless drivers licenses like the 9-11 hijackers were able to secure.

If a state doesn't want to produce licenses that conform, that's just fine. Their residents will have to get passports or some other ID to fly. Air travel safety is the Federal government's responsibility. Allowing just anyone to board a plane is an abdication of that responsibility. The Constitution guarantees us the right to travel, not fly anonymously.

Same for voting. Every fraudulent vote cancels out a valid one. I don't want dead people, people who have moved away, or people who already voted somewhere else being allowed to cancel my vote with a bogus one.
