Hey All. I'm a fellow at the Roosevelt Institution this summer, and I have a question for you:

What are you up to this July 11th? Still recovering from crazy 4th of July parties? Feverishly packing for Netroots Nation? Trying to whip Democratic Senators into shape vis-a-vis FISA?

I have an idea that's way more fun.

Recently, Barack Obama has been on the front page of ActBlue.

Ok.

When you click on his top fundraising page, you go here: http://www.actblue.com/...

Great.

Yet when you click a link on anywhere on the page, you go to http://www.obama4america.com/

http://www.obama4america.com/ is a link farming spam page.

Is something fishy going on? Should we be concerned?

Under our noses, some elements of the federal government are about to impose a national ID card system on our fair nation. The deadline to submit comments to the Department of Homeland Security regarding the disastrously invasive REAL ID act is ends at 5:00 pm EST, May 8th.

What does the REAL ID act do? It will require state drivers licenses to conform to certain standards, and all ID information be stored at a massive federal database. These new national ID cards could possibly be required to gain access to federal buildings, planes, and cross state lines. Not only is this act Orwellian, it was attached to the Katrina relief bill, and passed without much debate. Furthermore, this legislation would cost the states a projected $17.2 billion to $23.1 billion.

A mandatory national ID system is wrong. Did we not criticize the Soviets for the very such thing during the Cold War?

But you don't have to take my word for it.
