The video forwarded below -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=2kE8xDMokpM -- is concise, has lots of solid information, and is
well worth watching. According to Gary Franchi of Restore the
Republic, "Both Real ID and the PASS Act result in Americans being
enrolled into a single global biometric identification system that
links a person's body to their ability to buy and sell." Further,
according to the video, the "PASS Act" would put Social Security
numbers in the hands of State Motor Vehicle departments, again
attempting to turn drivers licenses into national ID, and contains
many of the egregious aspects of the REAL ID Act it would supersede,
"including the requirement for digital facial image/photograph that
will be mandated to be internationally facial recognition compatible."
This bill will be heard by the Senate Homeland Security &
Governmental Affairs Committee. Franchi states that the head of the
Homeland Security Agency, Janet Napolitano, is lobbying the Senate
committee to approve it, and that it will be considered soon. The Feds
are also reputedly attempting to bribe state governors with federal
money to secure their backing for the "PASS Act." Please call today
and urge the committee Senators to defeat this fascist legislation!

This is a serious threat to our privacy and civil liberties. It is
also leading toward the end of anonymous cash transactions, which has
obvious scary implications for undocumented migrants, sex workers,
people doing under-the-table work, and others. Please forward this and
let your contacts know the importance of stopping S. 1261!
