I generally skip right over posts that deal with religion; not my cup of tea, thank you. But I was surprised to find that a set of beliefs actually encompassed geographical limits in it's core, that's all.
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

I'm not sure if the holding back of federal funding is what seems to be heavy-handed to you, or if it is something else. But holding back funding is a very commonplace tactic used by the feds to get the states to comply with something. Speed limits, for example. So, it should cause no alarm in this case

You're almost implying that you will need a National Driver's License to do business with the feds. That is untrue. Other federally-accepted documentation will have to suffice, because not everyone will want or be able to have a driver's license.

City transit is public transportation, and I have never rode a bus that required identification to ride, unless I wanted to load my bike on the front
DENVER -- Federal prosecutors have decided against filing misdemeanor charges against a woman who refused to show identification when a bus she was riding in entered federal property.
Deborah Davis, 50, of Arvada, Colo., was taken off a Regional Transportation District bus, handcuffed and issued two petty offense tickets on Sept. 26 at the Denver Federal Center, a sprawling campus of federal offices in Lakewood, Colo.

For you see when you start accusing the government and this and that, that’s who you are accusing. The man who issues you your license, delivers your mail, or handles your accounting at the IRS. They are the government, and they do not care about tracking you down or what you do in your personal life, so long as it does not involve denying the rights of others.

When you say government is after us, you are disrespecting the men and woman who make up the workforce that keep our society running smooth. It is not the government you have beef with, it is your elected leaders, the ones you actually have the ability to do something about.

If you want to make a difference, pay your credit cards off within a year, save up alot of money, and get involved in the political system. Create a local lobby group, and even try to get your closest associates to participate as well. Your fears have arisen out of your lack of participation in the system. Voting for your leaders does not cut it. You have to become a leader yourself. Because if you do not lead, then you follow. And if you follow, then you should not complain, because you make your decisions based on what others request or demand of you.

The state clearly has the options, but is not required to have this bio-metric data in their new systems. Your Drivers license will still say State of Florida.

If I am not mistaken some states have already made there ID's and DL's Patriot Act Compilant. In Florida we have a new DL/ID and it contains all the information required by the Patriot act.

There are over 200 Court Cases from every state and the federal Supreme Court. The roads as the one above says are NOT FEDERALLY OWNED. See the federal govt can own nothing, the people own them. Did the federal government geta job and start paying taxes nto itself in order to pay for "IT'S" roads? Slight of hand by some deft lawyes is all that nonsense is. I have a 29 page filing I use when defending a driving without a lcense charge. I have never lost, every case has been dismissed with prejudice.

If you would like to see a state that don't as many don't and in FACT can not, look at Article 6 of the Colroado Constitution. It says the Right to use the roads withou licensure is INVIOLATE.

At about $20 a pop per replacement you’ll run out of money long before they are going to run out of cards to give you.

Can we get a couple of misconceptions straight here, I know you all are surely Juris Doctors but let me tell you this, and whether you believe it or not does not dispute that it is FACT:
1. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY #.
2. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAEV A DRIVERS LICENSE TO DRIVE.
