You can very easily send letters to your senators about the issue via this web page:

If you are like many who haven't really thought too much about national ID cards one way or another, here' are just few reasons they are bad:

1) They make us less secure because now all id forgers have just one target instead of the ~50 or so we have today, economies of scale will kick in and criminals will be able to buy cheap incredibly high quality forgeries if they wish.

2) They make us less secure because the national id-card database will be a perfect target for identity thieves. Knowning the way our government works, the thieves won't even have to break in and steal the database, they will be able to buy access to it.

3) The USA is suppossed to be the home of the brave and the land of the free. Internal passports sure are not about freedom and the only way this stuff gets sold to the public is on the fear of "terrorism."

On Oct 21, 2001 Osama bin Laden said - "I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life."
