The New Hampshire House voted to pass HB 685 on Thursday. The bill prohibits the New Hampshire government from participating in the federal Real ID program. Real ID would create a de facto national identification card out of our state driver's licenses.
New Hampshire kicked off a wave of dissent across the country when the House voted to ban Real ID last year. The Senate, however, killed the bill.
The fight has come back even stronger this year; 25 other states have pending legislation denouncing Real ID and the general court of New Hampshire does not want to be left out on the party it started. The the same bill passed the House by a narrow margin last year. This year it passed by a near-unanimous vote of 268-8.
I hope you will contact your Senator and tell them you don't want the federal government to create a national ID card.
In Libertate,
Tyler
