“Your ID, please” is a phrase Americans will be hearing far more often if the Real ID Act is implemented. But with your help today, we can prevent this ‘Real Nightmare’ from becoming a reality.

The Real ID Act requires every American to have a standardized driver’s license – a de facto national ID – to fly on commercial airlines or enter government buildings. Legislation has also been proposed that would make showing a Real ID a requirement for voting, getting a job and obtaining benefits like Medicaid. Real ID will invade privacy, trample religious freedom, and won’t make us any safer.

We need your help by Tuesday, 5:00 PM EST to tell DHS and Congress that Americans reject Real ID.

As required by law, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is accepting comments on its proposed Real ID regulations through Tuesday, May 8th, at 5:00 PM. Anyone in America has the right to submit comments to the government on this proposal.

Please submit your own comments telling DHS and Congress that Real ID is a ‘Real Nightmare’ that needs to be fixed.

Your comments today will be critical in this debate, as Congress will be looking carefully at the number of comments delivered. Here is how you can submit your comments:

1. Online through the Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov/ (search for “DHS-2006-0030-0001″ and follow the instructions for submitting comments)
2. Fax to 1-866-466-5370. Your fax must state that you are submitting comments in response to Notice of Proposed Rulemaking DHS-2006-0030.
3. Postal Mail sent to Department of Homeland Security; Attn: NAC 1-12037; Washington, D.C. 20538. Your letter must state that you are submitting comments in response to Notice of Proposed Rulemaking DHS-2006-0030.
