Special Thanks to the Privacy Coalition for the following information.

• A broad coalition [0] of organizations across the United States is urging the public to submit comments rejecting the illegal national identification system created under the Department of Homeland Security's REAL ID program.
• Five states and several members of Congress have rejected the scheme, which creates a massive national ID system without adequate security or privacy safeguards, which makes it more difficult and costly for people to get licenses, and which makes it easier for identity thieves to access the personal data of 245 million license and cardholders nationwide.
• To take action and submit comments against this fundamentally flawed national ID system, click here [0]! Comments are due by 5pm EST on May 8, 2007.
