		<description>I say no law passes without being read. It should automatically be pushed aside until every one has read it. Would you tell a teacher to grade a paper without correcting the paper. Would you tell a judge to pass sentence on a person without being familar with the case and has read all paperwork associated with the case.
Why are we not all over congress for doing this. It is wrong.

Last Updated: July 3rd, 2009 

http://RestoreTheRepublic.com &#124; http://StopRealIDCoalition.com &#124; Dear friends and fellow Americans, I have an EMERGENCY ACTION ALERT for you that requires your immediate and direct attention. 

This ALERT is regarding the MORPHING of REAL ID in to the PASS ACT. The REAL ID as you may or may not know was the failed law that snuck through congress in May of 2005 that would require all Americans to Carry a standardized FEDERAL ID card with an embedded trackable chip. 

NOW I need you to contact your senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs IMMEDIATELY to STOP THE PASS ACT - S.1261 

Special interests groups are trying to force Democrats, Independents and Republicans to support this legislation. States have been and are working to ensure drivers licenses are secure documents and have document integrity. The federal government, in spite of the states, wants to set international standards that are not needed. The federal government wants control of your state drivers license. The federal government is bribing states to go along with its plans. 

We spoke with Mark Lerner about the emerging PASS Act a few weeks ago. 

Our freedom and our rights are not for sale! 

Some governors want to take the bribe money. 

The senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will be considering the legislation very soon. 

The PASS Act does not repeal the Real ID Act. It does repeal provisions of the Real ID Act; those provisions that are included in Title II of the Real ID Act 2005. The Real ID Act is still intact and is federal law. 

The PASS Act contains many of the most egregious aspects of the Real ID Act; including the requirement for a digital facial image/photograph that will be mandated to be internationally facial recognition compatible. 

There is not a federal law that prohibits the simultaneous use of CCTV/surveillance cameras and facial recognition technology in real time. 

The PASS Act will do nothing to provide a higher level of National security. Under the provisions of the PASS Act the documents used to obtain a drivers license are not authenticated. These documents are called breeder documents. 

Although requirements for new databases and the linking of databases are not part of the PASS Act the fact remains through aamva.net and NLETS states can still have information contained in their state Department of Motor Vehicles made available to both federal and international law enforcement agencies without a court order. 

Two international agencies (AAMVA and the ICAO, an agency of the United Nations) were involved in U.S. policy and law - the Real ID Act 2005 and the newly proposed PASS Act. DHS has called AAMVA the hub and backbone of the Real ID Act. On AAMVA’s own web-site it proclaims it is an international organization that serves law enforcement and motor vehicle administrators. 

Both the Real ID Act and the PASS Act result in Americans being enrolled into a single global biometric identification system that links a persons body to their ability to buy and sell. 
WE ARE ASKING EVERY AMERICAN TO CALL EACH OF THE SENATORS in the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee AND SAY: 

We are opposed to the Real ID Act and the PASS Act 
We are opposed to being enrolled into a biometric identification system 
We do not want our social security numbers in state DMV databases 
We do not want RFID chips in our drivers licenses 
We are opposed to the federal government intervening in the issuance of state drivers licenses 

TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND CONTACT call these numbers: 

Senator Lieberman (202) 224-4041 Chairman 

Senator Collins (202) 224-2523 

Senator Akaka (202) 224-6361 

Senator Bennet (202) 224-5852 

Senator Burris (202) 224-2854 

Senator Carper (202) 224-2441 

Senator Coburn (202) 224-5754 

Senator Ensign (202) 224-6244 

Senator Graham (202) 224-5972 

Senator Landrieu (202) 224-5824 

Senator Levin (202) 224-6221 

Senator McCain (202) 224-2235 

Senator McCaskill (202) 224-6154 

Senator Pryor (202) 224-2353 

Senator Tester (202) 224-2644 

Senator Voinovich (202) 224-3353 

The First, Fourth and Tenth Amendments are under attack. The Second Amendment will follow. This is not a partisan issue. All Americans must take action now. 16 calls per American, 16 minutes (one minute per call) for a Lifetime of Freedom. 

This Alert has been provided by the STOP REAL ID COALITION and Restore the Republic. 

Please forward this ALERT to all you know, emberd it on your favorite blogs and forums, and take action now to preserve freedom in America! 

I am Gary Franchi, and remember I am not here to make you a follower I am here to make you a leader among the people. Goodnight, and God bless America.</description>

		<description>Fran,

You might be right. 

Of course obama promised to have the most open and transparent Administration in the history of the Country.  When the Dems took control of Congress in 2006, blinky said they would dry up the swamp called Congress and run it in an ethical way.   So much for those two promises.</description>

		<description>How about this for Orwellian insanity:

Sotomayor's racist Ricci ruling gets overturned by the Supreme Court. So, how does the White House respond? In predictable 'Truth is the greatest enemy of the State' fashion - they announce it shows their nominee is not biased:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such a time as the State can shield the people from the
political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important
for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie,
and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

that it's the nature of snakes to slither out after midnight....or rats to run wild
or cockroaches to come out in the dark.  I get it....they are vermin!!</description>

		<description>The one thing that I simply can't understand is if obama is so popular, and the Country was so ready for a change, why are the dems resorting to such tactics to get bills passed?  They should have no issues with debating the issues and then voting on it, since they are in the majority.</description>

Pretty sure the House is in recess until 1 day after the 5 day redaction period ends, ergo the only hope is the Senate.</description>

		<description>Ineresting to note that over 300 boxes of documents have been delivered to the Senate pending the Sotomayor confirmation. The Senate Judiciary Committee has set July 13 for the hearings to begin. This is becoming business as usual, it seems. I guess her appointment is yet another "crisis."</description>

MOTION TO RECONSIDER 

A motion to reconsider is a parliamentary practice that gives the House (or Senate) one opportunity to review its action on a motion, amendment, or measure. 

Motions to reconsider are routinely laid on the table — or killed. If a motion to reconsider is adopted, it requires a vote be held again on whatever the House has voted to reconsider. Only Members who voted on the winning side may move to reconsider a vote. Members have been known to change their votes at the last minute in order to be eligible to offer the motion. 

If the original vote on a question is close, enough members might be persuaded to change their position, or absent members could come to the floor, vote to reconsider, then reverse the outcome of the original vote. 

Typically, however, after announcing the result of a vote, the Speaker states that, “without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid on the table.” This uses up the one opportunity to reconsider, and makes the result of the vote final. 

LAY ON THE TABLE 

A motion to lay on the table a bill, resolution, amendment, point of order, appeal or another motion disposes of the question immediately and finally and adversely — it kills it without a direct vote on the substance of the question. A motion to table is not debatable and is adopted by unanimous consent — without objection — or by majority vote. It is a “highly privileged motion” — that is, in the order in which motions are given priority in the House, only a motion to adjourn has higher precedence than a motion to table a measure.

<p>MOTION TO RECONSIDER </p>
<p>A motion to reconsider is a parliamentary practice that gives the House (or Senate) one opportunity to review its action on a motion, amendment, or measure. </p>
<p>Motions to reconsider are routinely laid on the table — or killed. If a motion to reconsider is adopted, it requires a vote be held again on whatever the House has voted to reconsider. Only Members who voted on the winning side may move to reconsider a vote. Members have been known to change their votes at the last minute in order to be eligible to offer the motion. </p>
<p>If the original vote on a question is close, enough members might be persuaded to change their position, or absent members could come to the floor, vote to reconsider, then reverse the outcome of the original vote. </p>
<p>Typically, however, after announcing the result of a vote, the Speaker states that, “without objection, a motion to reconsider is laid on the table.” This uses up the one opportunity to reconsider, and makes the result of the vote final. </p>

Pfft! Like it matters if a full version were available.

“We don’t really read most of the bills. Do you know what that would entail if we read every bill that we passed?” –Rep. Jim McDermott, Fahrenheit 9/11

You are right.  The reps are told by  Pelosi and Hoyer to vote yes or else )lose their committee positions and/or expect NO DNC funding for re-election.  A few told them (40 I believe) to shove their bill and 8 RINOs voted for it.  We need to clean house and remove both Senate and House incumbents.  There are too many turncoats in both parties.  You can expect Collins and Snow job from Maine to vote yes to this bill along with McCain and Graham and a number of others.  They are only looking out for their self-interests and the the American public or this country.</description>

		<description>It's no surprise to me that the liberals in Congress continue to sell out the American people to special interest groups. I would estimate that 95% of politicians have sold their souls to the special interest groups to maintain the power of elected office.</description>
