Saturn in Cancer: A National ID Card/Driver's License Bill Circulating on Hill

The freedom of movemnet USA residents now have is about to come to a close with the proposed passage of a new National Driver's License Bill .



HR418 will deny states federal funds for driver's license improvemtns if they refuse to connect private citizen's driver's licenses to a national database so people can be tracked as they travel around the USA.



...the measure, passed by a 261-161 vote last month and supported by the White House, even could make it possible for the government to monitor people's movements in the country through a chip in a license.



It would also punish private citizens by refusing to allow them to travel on airplanes unless their state agrees to the natonal identification:



Under the measure, states must verify they are giving licenses to U.S. citizens and legal residents. If they fail to do so, federal officers cannot accept licenses from residents of those states as proof of identity to get on an airplane or into a federal building, for example.



Sounds like it is time to write your representatives............

Thousands of Germans Tell Bush He's Unwelcome

Can Bush FEEL the love??? Does he care?



George Bush and Gerhard Schröder may have agreed during their meeting in Mainz to bury the hatchet on Iraq, but the thousands of German protesters who flooded the city were not as forgiving.





They met at the train station and at security barriers. They marched through the eerily empty downtown. At the very least, their banners and posters -- for example "Bush Go Home," "War Monger," and "No. 1 Terrorist" -- proclaimed their dislike and distrust of the U.S. president.



In general, the protesters' complaints were about Bush's policies in Iraq and his refusal to sign the Kyoto Treaty to curb global warming. And despite official comments from Bush and Chancellor Schröder about their disagreements being past, the demonstrators in Mainz seemed doubtful about any possible rapprochement between the US and German governments.




"When John F. Kennedy came to Germany he drove through cheering crowds," Mark Reichelt, 20, a student, told Reuters. "Now Bush is here and will drive through empty streets."
