On 21 April 2005, you voted in favour of HR 1268, a supplemental appropriations
bill that contained the REAL ID Act.  If the REAL ID Act remains in force, it
will compel state motor vehicle departments to become de facto extensions of
the federal immigration service.  By denying driving licences to undocumented
immigrants, it will increase the numbers of uninsured drivers.  Perhaps most
frighteningly, its requirements for data standardisation and data sharing will
lay the groundwork for a national identification card that will become required
for travel by air, rail or road, much like the internal passports issued by the
old Soviet Union.  This new Congress is a chance to repeal the REAL ID Act.  I
hope that you will reconsider your past support for the REAL ID Act, and
instead support its repeal.
