Spitzer Plan on Licenses Sets Tumult

Apparently most americans are unaware that 20 million people who are entitled to government issued ID are being denied that ID on the basis of this ssa card requirement.If you are a legal us citizen with a ss#,the ssa will not provide a new copy of your ss card without a government issued ID card.If you want a government issued ID card,you must provide a ss card.It's a catch 22 that dis-enfranchises as many as 20 million americans.Nazi style tactics by the patriot act have taken over for common sense.Now the right-wingers want to pass laws restricting voting rights to these same americans.It's time for bio-metric ID.My fingerprints have been on file with the pentagon for 25 years,but I'm not an american?I pay taxes,own property,serve on juries,and I'm not allowed the same civil rights as my neighbors because of national security?This is lunacy!I can't even sell my home and move away! This government has jailed me in my own home,I can't drive,fly,or get a passport to leave.This is America?
