Our friend Marc Rotenberg, Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), says:

We're coming down to the wire on a campaign to encourage public comment on the Real ID proposal, and we need folks to tell the Department of
Homeland Security that it is a really bad idea.

Real ID will create a massive national ID system without adequate
security or privacy safeguards. It will become more difficult for people to get licenses, and it will become easier for identity thieves to access the personal data of 245 million license and cardholders
nationwide.

More than 50 organizations and 100 bloggers have joined
this effort. But we only have until May 8 and we need your help.

To learn more and take action, visit the Privacy Coalition Stop 
Real ID page,
send in comments, blog the page, watch a video, tell your 
friends.

The data you save may be your own . . .
