House panel backs Real ID Act resolution

Ruth Boothe | 8:43 a.m. Jan. 13, 2008

Federal Government mandates are costing Utah taxpayers enormous amounts already. For example, the unfunded "No Child Left Behind". My property taxes are paying for the Federally chosen selection of the "education" our children receive.

What is the benefit of this ridiculous law, except for the taxpayer to pay for his own enslavement. I, for one, will not accept a real ID. The next step is the National ID. This appears to be a process to eliminate the states altogether, and we're paying for it.

It's time for Utah to withdraw from the union, issue our own passports, eliminate our taxes, and focus on our own defense.

THE REAL ID ACT IS SO FULL OF DECEIT, LOSS OF RIGHTS, LOSS OF PRIVACY, LOSS OF SECURITY (IN BOTH INFORMATION, AND PERSONAL SAFETY), THAT IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY "ABSURD" TO EVEN THINK OF SUPPORTING THIS MANDATE.

WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO LET OUR CONSTITUTION TO BE BUTCHERED BY SPECIAL INTERESTS, BIG BUISNESS, AND FINANCIAL ELITE.

IF WE DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN ITS DEFENSE WE WILL SOON HAVE NONE OF RIGHTS THAT WE ARE USED TO HAVING.
