      than 12,000 comments on its <A target="_blank" href="http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/07-1009.htm">draft
      implementation regulations</A> for the REAL ID Act. The  public comment
      process was marked with problems. Many people complained that they were
      unable file comments through the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.regulations.gov/">Web
      site</A> and fax number that DHS provided in its federal
      rulemaking. One day before the comments were due, DHS finally set up an
      e-mail address to which people could send comments. REAL ID faces considerable
      opposition by the public, the States and in Congress. More than 60 organizations
      and 215 blogs joined a <A target="_blank" href="http://www.privacycoalition.org/stoprealid/">campaign</A> to
      submit comments against REAL ID. <A target="_blank" href="http://www.epic.org/privacy/id_cards/wash_sb5087.pdf">Washington</A> (pdf)
      and <A target="_blank" href="http://www.epic.org/privacy/id_cards/mont_hb0287.pdf">Montana</A> (pdf)
      passed legislation to opt-out completely. <A href="http://www.epic.org/privacy/id_cards/co_hjr1047.pdf">Colorado</A> (pdf)
      and
      <A target="_blank" href="http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/HJM003.html">Idaho</A> will
      not spend any money on REAL ID implementation. <A target="_blank" href="http://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ftproot/bills/2007/public/scr22.pdf">Arkansas</A> (pdf),
      Hawaii, <A target="_blank" href="http://www.mainesenate.org/mitchell/realid.htm">Maine</A>,
      and North Dakota are calling for its repeal. Both houses of Congress are
      debating legislation that would repeal the ill-conceived law. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DADBF891-D4BE-4BB4-B7A6-46B37D91205E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
