"This bill could have a chilling effect on the exercise of our constitutionally guaranteed rights. It re-defines "terrorism" in broad new terms that could well include members of firearms rights and anti-abortion groups, or other such groups as determined by whoever is in power at the time. There are no prohibitions against including such information in the database as information about a person's exercise of First Amendment rights or about a person's appearance on a registry of firearms owners.

This legislation gives authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to expand required information on driver's licenses, potentially including such biometric information as retina scans, finger prints, DNA information, and even Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) radio tracking technology. Including such technology as RFID would mean that the federal government, as well as the governments of Canada and Mexico, would know where Americans are at all time of the day and night."
--Ron Paul referring to HR 418.


if you think total despotism isn't something to fear, then there's something wrong with you.

is ron paul trying to scare us here? it sounds like it...you should write him and tell him that. even though, according to you, he's allowed to scare people and make them fear the government.

if alex jones said this, you'd be right on it saying he's instilling fear and trying to make us fear the government and make money...

explain again why ron paul can say something like this?

i suppose we should praise and beg for national id cards...you'll be the first in line.
