ACLU's "REAL NIGHTMARE" SITE

Just got of the phone with Maha Khoury, Staff Attorney with the NM Legislative Council Service (505-986-4639) - maha.khoury@nmlegis.gov - who is helping to pass NM's legislative memorial-resolution to oppose the Real ID Act of 2005.

She gave us several key names in this fight nationwide and referred us to this ACLU site for more updates.

AT A GLANCE . . .

"The Real ID Act of 2005 would turn our state driver’s licenses into a genuine national identity card and impose numerous new burdens on taxpayers, citizens, immigrants, and state governments – while doing nothing to protect against terrorism. As a result, it is stirring intense opposition from many groups across the political spectrum. This Web site provides information about opposing Real ID."
