This is exactly the kind of fight that can decide whether a republic descends into tyranny.
Just imagine what a tyrannical government might do if its citizens were forced to carry a National ID filled with biometric information and linked to a federal database – potentially including all sorts of other information like gun ownership, religious beliefs, and political involvement.
So please sign your NO NATIONAL ID/NO DATABASE! petition to your U.S. Representative and Speaker Paul Ryan below, and agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, or even $10 or $25 TODAY!
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman, Campaign for Liberty
Whereas: | Privacy from government is a chief cornerstone of our liberties, enshrined in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and |
Whereas: | A mandatory National ID system requiring all Americans to carry a government-approved ID containing “biometric features” is a giant leap toward tyrannical government; and |
Whereas: | Without this card, Americans would not be able to legally hold a job; and |
Whereas: | A National Database could expand to include American citizens’ gun ownership status, religious beliefs, political affiliation and virtually anything else at the stroke of a President’s pen; and |
Therefore: | I urge you to oppose any legislation requiring U.S. citizens to obtain a National ID – or any other bill that would establish a national database storing ANY information on American citizens. |
