Temporary Safety

I've had some guests in town of late and been unable to devote my full attention to my little corner of the Internet. So how about another e-mail from Bill Scannel?

Guys:

We have less than 48 hours to stop our nation from having a National ID card scheme.

The US Senate is scheduled to vote either today or tomorrow on two amendments that will remove Real ID provisions from the immigration bill.

Real ID is a very, very real national identification card. Sixteen states have passed legislation rejecting REAL ID: now it's time for the Senate to do their part. You can fax Senators Stevens and Murkowski; and take immediate action by visiting:

Ted and Lisa need to hear from us on this one...let's get them to do the right thing, for once.

All the best,

Bill

This was sent to Bill's VIP e-mailing list. Boy, doesn't this blogging thing make me important!
