Group fueling registration doesn’t fall far from ACORN ....

What a surprise....No?

The activist political group behind the state’s push to drive welfare recipients to the polls this November has heavy ties to the disgraced community outreach organization ACORN — including a Dorchester woman who served as its national president for 20 years.

Obama’s College Classmate: ‘The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia’ ....

I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since graduating Columbia.

Voter ID laws could sway US elections ....

I just find this almost impossible to believe. You can't function on a daily basis without some form of ID.....and getting one does not cost a fortune! If you can get to the Voting Booth - you can get somewhere to secure identification. I know the Parties themselves would help with this!

Millions of US voters could be turned away at the ballot box in this November’s presidential election as new rules impose tough requirements for identification that observers say could lead to minorities and young people – traditionally more likely to vote Democrat – being excluded.

Chips in official IDs raise privacy fears

My Way News - Chips in official IDs raise privacy fears: "Climbing into his Volvo, outfitted with a Matrics antenna and a Motorola reader he'd bought on eBay for $190, Chris Paget cruised the streets of San Francisco with this objective: To read the identity cards of strangers, wirelessly, without ever leaving his car.
It took him 20 minutes to strike hacker's gold.
Zipping past Fisherman's Wharf, his scanner downloaded to his laptop the unique serial numbers of two pedestrians' electronic U.S. passport cards embedded with radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags. Within an hour, he'd 'skimmed' four more of the new, microchipped PASS cards from a distance of 20 feet."

Fascist Legislation Slipping By

Daily Kos: State of the Nation: "I too believe the word is overused, but you cannot read the provisions of Senate 1261 and not be alarmed. Left and right are coming together on this one. Groups from the ACLU to Sen. John Sununu are sounding the alarm. It is a non-partisan issue which strikes at the heart of what it means to be an American."

Matthew Dunlap, Maine Secretary of State, puts it concisely:

"The Real ID Act is not real. It is a bizarre policy fiction with murky goals. Once billions of public treasure is expended and the government has complete control over who you say you are, and the next Mohammed Atta would still be able to obtain a state driver's license, it will be too late to reverse course..."

The ID Passes on PassID

American Daily Review - US & World Politics - The ID Passes on Pass ID: "OUR Central Planning Apparatchik (the U.S. federal government) would be capable of and in the business of collecting, maintaining, and disseminating information on American citizens to international agencies."
