STOP REAL ID COALITION (Feb 29, 2008) Mark Lerner, and the Stop Real ID Coalition, have been extremely successful in uniting U.S. and state legislators, religious leaders, legislative committees, and major national organizations. This united campaign is working to stop the Real ID Act of 2005 and it’s troubling international scope of insecurity, privacy invasion, and loss of freedom that it establishes.
More than a dozen states have legislation passed that urges the U.S. Congress to Repeal the Act altogether!
Over half of the states have legislation pending that urges the U.S. Congress to Repeal the Act!
Make no mistake about it. According to the legislation their states have passed or plan to pass, the states haven’t rolled over and accepted that the Real ID is for real. No way.
In fact, we have invitations from, are working with, or are scheduling to work with 20 states to pass legislation in their state to end this insane Real ID Act of 2005. And we continue to work with U.S. Legislators on the national front, religious leaders and their congregations, ACLJ, ACLU, state legislators, and governors.
When over half the states see the problem with the Real ID, then one has to peek under the hood to learn what they’ve seen; it’s just sensible to educate oneself. Our coalition has peeked, and we coach and inform legislators and others on what we’ve found and how to deal with it in their state; and even nationally.
We don’t blow smoke, pass out ludicrous looking literature, stand in the outer corridors while the action is inside, claim to do more than we have, burn bridges, or harass others into public embarrassment.
We do actually show up, build cohesive teams and alliances, create understanding, coach and build the knowledge base, describe the issues in layman or professional terms, build our case based purely on fact, and provide comprehensive model legislation.
