ACTION ALERT: National ID and master database

Establishing a national ID and building a national database to hold information
on every man, woman and child in the U.S., has been a priority of big-government
elites for years. Those elites are just about to get their way. Those of us who
strongly object to their plans for us and want to preserve the American way of life
had better act today.

Two weeks ago, we alerted you to the U.S. House's vote on H.R. 10 -- The 9/11
Recommendations Implementation Act. That act takes the final step to establishing
a national ID to track American citizens and authorize the creation of a national
database to hold the information collected. Unfortunately, H.R. 10 passed in the
House. In a slightly different version, it also passed in the Senate. Now, a House-Senate conference committee is meeting to iron out those differences and
come up with a final version.

Gun Owners of America, a leading opponent of the national ID and master
database, today alerted Americans that H.R. 10 would:

1. Create a master database containing personal information on every American
man, woman and child (section 2173). The content of this database would be
within the exclusive discretion of the bureaucrats, but could include medical
records, confidential financial records, library records and gun records.

2. "Standardize" or nationalize the process of issuing state driver's licenses -- an
action which takes the final step in creating a national ID (section 3052).

With a national ID, master database, and the new powers granted by Patriot Acts I
and II, politicians and bureaucrats, in office today and in the future, will have
unchecked access and power over the American people.

We must stop the national ID. Please do three things:

1. Urge your U.S. representative to get the House-Senate conference committee
to remove the provisions that will create a national ID and master database. Use

2. Urge House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to intervene and get those two
provisions removed. His office telephone number is 202-225-4000 and fax
number is 202-225-5117. An e-mail form is at http://www.majorityleader.gov/CONTACT.ASP?a=form

3. Spread the word. Forward this page to family and friends.

The House-Senate conference committee will continue to meet over the weekend.
Therefore, we must act today to get the committee to remove the national ID and
master database provisions before the House and Senate vote on the final version.
That vote might take place as early as Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
