Hi all, Today I have a very important question. Is this
“(CNN) -- Americans may need passports to board domestic flights or to picnic in a national park next year if they live in one of the states defying the federal Real ID Act. The act, signed in 2005 as part of an emergency military spending and tsunami relief bill, aims to weave driver's licenses and state ID cards into a sort of national identification system by May 2008. The law sets baseline criteria for how driver's licenses will be issued and what information they must contain.
The Department of Homeland Security insists Real ID is an essential weapon in the war on terror, but privacy and civil liberties watchdogs are calling the initiative an overly intrusive measure that smacks of Big Brother.”
More than half the nation's state legislatures have passed or proposed legislation denouncing the plan, and some have penned bills expressly forbidding compliance.”

“It also requires all 245 million license and state ID holders to visit their local departments of motor vehicles and apply for a Real ID by 2013. Applicants must bring a photo ID, birth certificate, proof of Social Security number and proof of residence, and states must maintain and protect massive databases housing the information.”

This ID card is another step toward the one world government and the mark of the beast spoken of in the book of Revelation. All Christians should pray that this is not enforced.
Here is what Will Grigg has to say about the real ID act.
“Will Grigg's
After next May, if you live in a state that has rejected the Federal Real ID act, you will be required to obtain a passport to board an airliner, visit a national park, or conduct business anywhere a federally approved ID is required.
As a growing number of states reject the Real ID program, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff insists that “if a state doesn't have ... Real ID-compliant licenses then the state cannot expect that those licenses will be accepted for federal purposes.”
It's entirely possible that
What all of this means, in principle, is that the federally approved state driver's licenses required under the Real ID Act amount to an internal travel passport. Although common in totalitarian countries like the old
Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.”
