I oppose it. This has nothing to do with the problem, it just makes it tough on the people of the state....

The federal government should provide money for this program. The citizens and taxpayers of
North Carolina should not have to deal with this
burden from their pocket books at all. ! I'm all in
favor for enhanced security for upgrades in NCDL's but we in North Carolina already have
way too many monetary burdens and costs of
living issues to deal with. The State of North
Carolina would surely pass this expense along
to it's citizens. Voters and NC taxpayers please
wake up and respond to your elected folks in
regards to this issue. ! ! !

Thanks,

The ID law is just another step in the path for those looking for ways to manipulate massive quantities of votes in the undemocratic direction. We need to be *helping* people vote, not hindering them. Maybe one day we'll get to the point where enough people are so desperate to vote that voting fraud might be an issue (won't happen). Until then, let's concentrate on registration, transportation, and poll availability.

The way the REAL ID Act is portrayed is always oversimplified and reduced to talking points that have little to do with the details of the law. REAL ID permanently puts DHS in charge of state driver's licenses. For all intents and purposes, it federalizes them and makes them into national ID cards that just have 50 different "looks" to them. The feds get to make all the rules into the future about RFID, biometrics, etc. , not just the rules they are talknig about now. States that make a decision to join REAL ID are making the last decision regarding their licenses that they will ever get to make.

I'm really proud of North Carolinian's for standing up for themselves on this issue. The leaders in this state would put a chip in you now if they could- at least the people who want this bill.
What currently bothers me the most about Real ID's is the issue of "official purpose" of these ID's at the "discretionary authority" of the DHS Secretary. This means that a Real ID is whatever Secretary Chertoff says it is. Right now the Real ID Act is being used to build a 30 foot border wall in CA, TX and AZ. That has nothing to do with an ID in your wallet but somehow it is still happening -"discrectionary authority". Real IDs are so obviously bad for US citizens that there is no way people are going to willingly pay for it.

I'm really happy is not going true wITH The real i'd's. but the time it comes won't drive no more,any car.the government think we don't know what there up 2,won't take the chip,or my friends.animals can't talk,some have it already.
there is no way people are doing it willingly
there maybe force it on 2 people.
