Will we need RealID's to fly to the DC Rally if it is in May?

[dawnbt]

The march is July 4, according to RP on AJ earlier today.

What if you are 50 years old and you are "exempt" until (what is it) 2012 or whatever? What are you supposed to do in the meantime?

Fortunately, my state has passed legislation against the Real ID, so I guess I can't take advantage of any federal services anyway. I imagine that the airlines are going to freak out when they realize that their passenger loads are going to hit the floor. And, when Boeing can't sell any airplanes domestically, because the airlines have to scrap their big jets in favor of those little Brazilian miniatures, they're not going to care much for the Real ID either. Then, there's the hospitality sector, which will also see a downturn.

Looks to me like the Real ID is going to hasten our demise economically.

Oh, I imagine if enough people start driving, they'll just not allow you to drive without a Real ID. Bicycles anyone?

He didn't say it was going to be July 4th. He said MAYBE Memorial weekend OR Fourth of July weekend. Nothing is finalized.

Most christians don't even know what number the mark of the beast is..anyway, I wanted to ask if passports will still be ok for flying, for domestic flights? Or will they cockblock it if you don't have Real ID?

if you don't have a real id, you can use your passport if you have one... but i think the real id doesn't get implemented for atleast another year...

DC *is* the 10 square miles we gave to the federal government to do with as they please.

It's the original federal zone. So will you need a read ID to go there?

And if everything the federal government owns is owned by the people, what right do they have to deny you access to it?

And what happens if they suddenly don't like the way you talk about freedom and "turn off" your real ID? Then you aren't allowed to do anything or go anywhere?

And people want the government to have that type of power over their lives?

It's bad enough people think they need government permission to travel from place to place (in any form of transportation, including cars). Who's the sovereign people here?

Please check your status, is it a 2nd class citizenship? Need permission for everything?

Oh, I'm sorry about that. For the past week or so, the transmission has been fading in and out, and I only caught July 4th. Thanks for clearing that up.
