This is exactly the kind of fight that can decide whether a republic descends into tyranny.
This new National ID scheme filled with biometric information, linked to a federal database would be required for every American to work – and could include all sorts of other information like gun ownership, religious beliefs, and political involvement.
So please sign your NO NATIONAL ID, NO DATABASE Directive below, and agree to your most generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, or even $10 or $25 TODAY!

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: | The debate over “immigration reform” virtually ALWAYS includes an electronic biometric identity verification database scheme that would be required for every American to work; and |
Whereas: | This dangerous scheme would ultimately require all Americans to carry a National “REAL ID” card or be denied the ability to legally hold a job; and |
Whereas: | The National Database could easily be expanded to include American citizens’ gun ownership status, religious beliefs, political affiliation — and virtually anything else — at the stroke of a president’s pen. |
Therefore: | I urge you to oppose any legislation establishing a National ID Verification Database that stores ANY information on American citizens and would ultimately require all Americans to carry a National ID Card. |
