OUTRAGEOUS! Another open assault on our individual freedoms. Is there no end to this madness? Bush & Cheney should have been hung with Saddam Hussein.

Passports are proof of citizenship why the need for US drivers license.

I wonder if we will be allowed to opt for our own designer barcode colors?

Bar-codes hell! They'll probably tattoo us like their idols the Nazi's did to the Jews. Sit down and roll up your sleeve for your own personal number on your forearm.

I often wonder what our veterans of WWII, the Korean and Vietnam wars, who fought to preserve our freedom and democracy, are thinking about how things are heading now?!

As a Vietnam vet this is NOT what any vet, even the ones being wasted in vain in Iraq, had in mind when we joined.

Considering the behavior of our govt during the last 6 years, how can we possibly trust them on this issue. No thanks!

Stop and think of just how many of Georgie's (and Daddy's) pet projects have whittled away at the rights of Americans already... we will all have our foreheads barcoded with our social security numbers someday after another whizbang government study shows that this national ID didn't work out like expected once it gets rammed down our throats... I wonder if we will be allowed to opt for our own designer barcode colors?

A national ID card gives me the shivers. It reminds me of the Nazis in Germany demanding to see your papers, and the KGB in the old Soviet Union. Pretty soon we are going to have "check points" on every street and highway in this country with police wanting to see your papers. Remember, George Bush and his "buddies" have 2 years to go (maybe) so they can really do a lot of damage in those 2 years.

Of course we could always just go ahead a revive the Gestapo and put them on every step demanding to see your "papers" like in Nazi Germany! That'd make that filthy Nazi want-to-be Cheney feel right at home!

A national ID card is the worst, most invasive idea to come out of the neocon wing of the republican party since warrant-less spying on Americans! It's one short step from this to requiring GPS activated ones so the government can see where everyone is 24-7! NO now and NO forever! NEVER!
