National Identity Card

I have been seeing a lot of articles lately about a new federally mandated National ID. Mandated under the Real ID Act this card will be required to get SSI payments, open a bank account or even drive.

Some say it will help with illegal immigration while others say it will increase your chance of identity theft, and invade your privacy.

Some states such as NJ are for it, while others such as California are reported to be against the card.

Here is a link to a site set up by the ACLU.
