New Hampshire says "no" to Real ID...

... and who's next?

The NH Senate unaminously approved a bill that bars the state from complying with the Real ID Act, and the Governor says he'll sign it. That's good news in the move to stop the implementation of Real ID.

One refrain that's clear in every rejection is that cost is a huge concern for the states. As documented here and many other places, there are other major problems with the Real ID Act. It's important to keep those other issues at the forefront of this debate in case somehow cost becomes less of a concern due to... well... to someone printing more money, I suppose!

Good. If the real id isn't stopped, it will lead to something far worse!

When will they change the law. This is frightening to a lot of us Americans. Be powerful,be strong,I have contacted my Senator. What phone number are there on this web site? Will it help to call. I agree that it must be stopped. It is absolutely criminal. This real card will be
truly International through THE
AAMVA. This nation will be lost for- ever if this law is not stopped. It is that important.
