Patriot,
For years, we've warned you about the threat of national ID
schemes.
Now, we know a digital ID scheme is being quietly slipped into a
"must-pass" National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which
Congress will deal with when they reconvene after next week's
midterm election.
The NDAA normally determines the agencies responsible for
defense, establishes recommended funding levels, and sets the
policies under which money will be spent on defense-related
activities.
But as is also normal, bills in Congress are filled with pork and
unrelated matters that legislators slip in year after year.
This bill/amendment is even more dangerous, though, because it's
the start of a digital ID. As many observers have noted, a
digital ID would be necessary to implement a Central Bank Digital
Currency (CBDC), which the Federal Reserve and Joe Biden himself
have accelerated plans to implement.
Of course, the proponents of this new ID scheme promise that it
will only be used to crackdown on criminals and terrorists and
keep you safe from identity theft and fraud. . .
Just like they promised us that:
>>>The PATRIOT Act would not lead to mass surveillance. . .
>>>The income tax would only apply to the very richest Americans
and the IRS would never abuse our liberties. . .
>>>And ObamaCare would let you keep your doctor if you liked your
doctor.
You and I know better than to trust the promises of politicians!
The digital ID bill, S. 4528, the "Improving Digital Identity Act
of 2022," has just two sponsors in the Senate: Kyrsten Sinema
(D-AZ) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), but once slipped into the NDAA,
it stands a greater chance of passage since nobody wants to
oppose funding the troops.
This bill will create a new federal bureaucracy, an "Improving
Digital Identity Task Force," to lay the groundwork for a digital
ID scheme - which is also a step down the road to a national ID
system - and create a grant program to hand out cash to states
willing to implement the scheme at the state level.
States are always quick to accept millions in federal funds, and
too often put the money over the best interests of their
citizens.
This has already been added to the list of amendments to the
NDAA. "Improving Digital Identity" is just one of hundreds of
amendments the statists hope we won't see. We need to DEMAND they
OPPOSE this digital ID scheme and keep it OUT of the NDAA!

Once the ball is rolling to implement a digital ID, you can be
certain the next thing will be heightened calls for a Central
Bank Digital Currency - and forcing Americans to accept the
"digital ID."
And why stop there? They could require all Americans to have an
ID that features biometric identification information,
potentially even including fingerprints, retinal scans, or scans
of veins on the back of hands, which could easily be used as a
tracking device.
You see, this ID would be tied to a massive government database
including virtually any information nosy government bureaucrats
want to know about you. . .
Like gun ownership, employment history, purchasing habits, family
and friends, love interests, health records, travel, religious
beliefs, and political contributions.
If this new ID system is put in place, it will only be a matter
of time before it is used to deny employment to individuals who
own "too many" firearms, homeschool their children, or challenge
the IRS's "assessment" of how much they owe in taxes.
It can even be used to deny employment to individuals who work to
change foreign policy, protect civil liberties, and Audit (and
end) the Fed!
These abuses would not have to be "official" policy - just like
the IRS harassment of "tea party" groups was never official
policy. That was just an "understanding" between certain
administration officials and bureaucrats who wanted to crush the
liberty movement.
Remember, they just passed funding for 87,000 new IRS agents in
their "Build Back Broke" bill!
Since the NDAA could move quickly after Election Day, Campaign
for Liberty is gearing up to restart our "NO DIGITAL ID!" program
and once again flood Congress with petitions letting your elected
representatives know the people do not want any new Digital ID
system.
Tell Congress right now: OPPOSE any Digital ID scheme in the
NDAA!

We will be keeping a close eye on this bill and staying in close
contact with our allies on the Hill.
Campaign for Liberty supporters like you have played a vital role
in stopping the mandatory digital ID schemes from becoming law in
the past, and I am convinced that if liberty-loving Americans
like you continue to help us put the heat on Congress, we can
stop any last-minute attempts to sneak a new ID system into law
after the election.
The danger lies in what happens on election day. If the Democrats
lose power in the House and the Senate, their last six weeks will
likely mean going for broke, spending like crazy, and ramming
through bills they know they won't be able to for the next two
years.
More often than not, we are fighting Republican statists too, so
we need to push back on them just as hard.
Your signed Directive lets your senators know you do not trust
their promise that this new digital ID system will only be used
to identify criminals and fraud. Why should we trust them now
after they've let us down on so many other promises they've made
to the American people?
It lets them know you do not want the government to impose any
"digital ID" scheme to enable a Central Bank Digital Currency to
monitor and control your finances.
It lets them know that you know there is no stopping government
from using this power to punish home schoolers, gun owners, and
those who work to restore constitutional government.
And most important, it lets your senators know you are paying
attention and expect them to oppose any digital ID scheme.
Take just one moment, right now, to make your voice heard!

Taking on the statists in D.C. is never easy . . . or cheap.
But when Congress attempts to sneak these liberty-stealing
schemes under the radar, a big public outcry is often enough to
get them to back down.
We need to continue the fight, even after Election Day, because
the forces of tyranny will never just go away.
Whether you can make a contribution of $50, $100, $200, $500, or
whatever you can afford, any contribution helps us reach and
mobilize more people.
Thank you for all that you do for Liberty,
John McCardell
Executive Director
P.S. We don't have much time to stop the NDAA from being
politicized and turned on Americans. We can prevent this
dangerous digital ID bill from being slipped into the National
Defense Authorization Act when most Americans are not paying
attention.
Take a moment to tell Congress NOW: OPPOSE any digital ID
schemes!
