POPS"Real ID" rejected by states Schweitzer wants Congress to step up and pass alternative legislation that would stop Real ID and re-instate a commission that was working on driver's license rules before the REAL ID Act was slipped into must-pass defense legislation in 2005.

Our "leaders" are worse than children - if their rules are rejected, they will apply them to more & more things, like cough medicine & unemployment eligibility. The stirrings of another civil war?

POPSCheats are poisoning us! We are being hoodwinked by false labelling and deceit. I despise people who, in a bid to make profit, will trade on misery to an unsuspecting World. Hopefully the pedlers in human misery will meet a miserable death of their own! I have little sympathy for them.
