No ID cards campaign (Brits)
Parliament are going to be voting on the next stage of the Identity
Cards Bill on 28th June. Even if you don't email your local paper,
please make sure you do write to your MP. NO2ID have a new lobbying
tool to help you do this at http://mps.no2id.net/ - just type in your
postcode and you'll have all the info you need [and a link to
WriteToThem.com] at your fingertips. If there is an open letter for
your MP, please do sign it.
A vote for this Bill is a vote for the compulsory fingerprinting,
involuntary registration and lifelong tracking of every one of their
constituents. Many of whom, like yourselves, will not stand for it.
Why not pledge?

Pledge says: 'Phil Booth will refuse to register for an ID card and
will donate £10 to a legal defence fund but only if 10,000 other
people will also make this same pledge.'
Public support for ID cards is plummeting. Our ICM poll earlier this
week showed that it's fallen to 55%, with 43% thinking that ID cards
are a bad or very bad idea. People are waking up to what this is going
to cost them - not just financially, but in terms of their privacy,
their freedom, their very way of life.
For me, it's not the idea of ID cards, it's what's inevitably going to come with it. Look what they did with sus laws & the miners' strike.
