For Immediate Release—



The members of the Jefferson Republican Party have always
been concerned with the Federal Government’s blatant usurpation of power.  One such piece of legislation which causes
great concern is the REAL ID Act of 2005, Division B of an act of the United
States Congress entitled “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense,
the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief of 2005” (Pub. L. No. 109-13, 119
Stat. 231, May 11, 2005).



This act is set to take effect on May 11, 2008, and would do
the following to the States in the Union:

Impose
an undue financial cost. 
Nationally, the cost will be billion, each state is expected to
shoulder an estimated 0-0 million of the total cost.Take
powers from the individual states previously left to them, namely that of
the issuance and regulation of automobile driver’s licenses.  Place
the personal information of individual citizens on a card that could be
used for criminal gain. 
Information could possible be that of financial and medical,
depending upon the discretion of the US Department of Homeland Security.  This card is to be swiped through
equipment that is easily obtainable by non-police personnel.Be
used for possible checkpoints throughout the United States.

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tx) has stated the following about this law:



This legislation gives authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to
expand required information on driver's licenses, potentially including such
biometric information as retina scans, finger prints, DNA information, and even
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) radio tracking technology. Including such
technology as RFID would mean that the federal government, as well as the
governments of Canada and Mexico, would know where Americans are at all times
of the day and night.  (Ron Paul -A National ID Bill Masquerading as
Immigration Reform, Before the US House of Representatives, February
9, 2005)

Therefore, we the members of the Jefferson Republican Party, call on all
states to act as the Legislature of Maine already has, and to enact a
resolution refusing to implement the REAL ID Act, protesting the actions of
that law, and calling for Congress to repeal the REAL ID Act of 2005.

We, the members of the Jefferson Republican Party, do
call upon the elected Legislators of our respective States to pass this
resolution without delay. We call upon our State Legislatures to pass laws interposing
the power of the States, between the citizens and this unconstitutional attack
on their liberties and welfare.The Jefferson Republican Party (JRP) is a "third party" seeking to return America and our states to the limited constitutional government envisioned by Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. Visit them online at www.JeffersonRepublicanParty.com.
