Urge Governor to sign Anti Real ID bills


HB 1587, which would prevent Virginia from formally co-operating with the federal government’s Real ID card if it would “compromise the economic privacy or biometric data of any resident of the Commonwealth” passed the House of Delegates and State Senate. SB 1481 (Sen. Cuccinelli) is identical to HB 1587 and also passed the General Assembly.

Gov. Kaine has until midnight, Monday, March 30 to sign, amend or veto HB 1587 and SB 1481. The Assembly will re-convene on April 8 to consider any amendment or vetoes from the Governor for all bills passed in the 2009 regular legislative session.

For background on Real ID please go to http://delegatebob.com/home/real-id-introduction-legislative-history.html

Please urge Governor Tim Kaine to sign both HB 1587 and SB 1481 WITHOUT any amendments. Gov. Kaine may be contacted at the following:

Richmond, Virginia 23219


OR

Phone: (804) 786-2211
Fax: (804) 371-6351

What I wrote to Timmy:



Governor,



Real ID will cost the Commonwealth in our budget, in our sovereignty and with respect to the personal liberty and privacy of our citizens.



I urge you to take a stand against this unfunded federal mandate and assert the rights of the Commonwealth.



Please sign the anti REAL ID bill.



Sincerely,



xxxxx xxxxx
