Apparently it doesn’t matter what the several states have told the federal government regarding Real ID; the feds are just going to go ahead and force us all to carry a chipped ID card, whether our states said “no” to it or not.
According to this article, one of the states that has caved in to such mafia tactics is Nevada – one of the three states in which Ron Paul placed a strong second in last year’s primaries. Apparently, it doesn’t matter what the people of Nevada want, either.
As the article states, “SB52 contains a variety of provisions designed to implement the Real ID Act, including spelling out the documents an individual will need to get a Real ID license. The legislation isn’t optional since the requirements are imposed by federal law.
The Real ID Act requires that, within the next two years, all states require drivers to show proof of their identity and their legal right to be in the U.S. and issue a drivers’ license which has security features designed to prevent identity theft.”

The fish to be fried are the American people. This isn’t about tax dollars and budgetary constraints – there are none. The Federal Reserve (a private corporation, not a government agency) creates new “money” out of thin air and our taxes merely pay a portion of the continually rising interest on that money creation. Our “money” is actually debt – not an asset – incurred by the federal government at the expense of us all.
So, the issue isn’t one of money at all. It is nothing short of fascism and the real test will be a test of wills – theirs against ours. Ultimately, it will come down to the people refusing to accept the chip (that’s what it is; not just an ID card) and standing their ground against an increasingly tyrannical regime. Believe me, this won’t be easy and the federal government (which is owned and controlled by a handful of international elites) has absolutely no regard for the wishes of the “taxpayers” (translation: “slaves”)

Do not stop fighting. There are over 23 states now in the Union who have successfully pushed back on this. It’s a real shame for Nevada to give in now, because there is literally no money to get Real ID regulated policy in place. Not to mention Janet Napolitano has other priorities in Homeland Security. As a former governor, she did cave to constituent support on this matter and understands that States have rights too. One of them is to OPT OUT of building expensive technical infrastructures in the U.S. on the taxpayer dime. All they had to do was push back a little bit and trends in governance and the Feds would have gone along with the wishes of State taxpayers. They do have bigger fish to fry right now.

Yes, I know about the 27 other states. Oklahoma is among them. It looks like Nevada is just going to do what the feds demand, despite the fact a large percentage of Nevadans would choose otherwise, if they could. They way their legislature has worded it, it seems they’re going to comply with Real ID, despite the 1946 Unfunded Mandates law.

This law on REAL ID includes federal funding. Since the federal government is unwilling or most likely unable to fully fund this law it falls under the 1946 Unfunded Mandates law……this means the state can refuse the funds and not comply or not comply because funds were not available.
Of course, Nevada government is most likely not informing the people about this. 27 states have already passed legislation refusing REAL ID>
