Citizen’s council for health freedom: The MN GOP leadership is twisting arms to pass an unconstitutional bill. We were disappointed yesterday to see most House Transportation Policy and Finance Committee Republicans vote to pass REAL ID 14-9.
Two Republicans voted NO (Reps. Steve Drazkowski and Eric Lucero – Thank them! Emails addresses below) and two Democrats voted YES.
We heard about a 2.5 hour arm-twisting session on the REAL ID bill, H.F. 3959 on Wednesday. The four “no” votes that apparently had stopped the bill from getting a hearing on Tuesday dropped to only two “no” votes yesterday and the bill passed (see vote below).
There is only one more House committee (Ways and Means) until a floor vote on the REAL ID-FOR-ALL House bill. Meanwhile, the Senate two-track bill will be heard in its last two committees next week, after passing today.
If the Federal Government is FOR it, then I’m against it. On simple principle.
MEHHHH!
More Orwell. Real ID sounds great, right? Who can be against an ID that is valid and reliable?
Get to the bottom of the article and you learn that this is a federal ID and the federal government can determine that it is valid for whatever purposes it decides: driving, voting, welfare….
Gun control.
