UPDATE: More Than 50 Groups Join Anti-National ID Campaign

A number of groups, including the Coalition Against Prosecutorial Abuse and Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, have joined a campaign against REAL ID. Fifty-four groups are urging the public to submit comments against the illegal national identification system created by the Department of Homeland Security under the REAL ID program. DHS seeks to create a massive system filled with sensitive personal data on 240 million license and ID cardholders nationwide, yet has failed to include adequate privacy and security safeguards. To take action and submit comments against this fundamentally flawed national identification scheme, visit the Stop REAL ID Campaign and EPIC's National ID Cards and REAL ID Act page.
