>We have two choices now: Resist or submit.

>More than 600 organizations, from the American Civil Liberties Union to
>the National Governors Association, opposed the bill. Even the American
>Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (which loves national ID
>and was largely responsible for an earlier attempt at such legislation
>nine years ago) criticized it.
>
>We can expect lawsuits against national ID, including at least one suit
>led by state governments.
>
>However, nearly all the opposition from state governments focuses on
>one area: They're upset because the federal government didn't offer
>them extra money to enslave us. If Congress bribes them with enough
>millions and billions, they'll gladly sell our freedom.
>
>Only one state, Montana, has so far absolutely refused to cooperate
>with national ID. The Montana legislature passed a law saying they
>would not go along. However, that will mean that Montana residents are
>barred from flying without extreme extra scrutiny or from applying for
>federal benefits because their licenses will be "non-compliant."
>Although we applaud the courageous Montana legislators, no doubt we'll
>soon hear many Montanans demanding the "privilege" of having a real
>national ID card.
>
>Ultimately, real resistance is up to us, as individuals.
>There are certain courses of action JPFO cannot recommend.
>But every freedom lover should be pleased if all the people who had a
>hand in creating Real ID act lost their jobs -- soon. And those
>individuals who truly value their (and their children's) futures should
>seriously consider making national ID their line in the sand.
>
>We have already heard from many people saying they will drive without a
>license rather than submit to a license that has become a Stalinist
>control document. We just hope their resolve stays equally strong when
>they face a world in which it's impossible to buy, sell, retire, travel
>-- or buy a gun -- without national ID.

>lives. Both suffered horribly for their resistance and their protests.
>But eventually, they triumphed -- and the Soviet Union crumbled.

>We are in need of such people, and such courage, today. We cannot wait
>for _someone else_ to stand up and show that kind of integrity.

>We must become the kind of people we admire if we are ever again to
