This installment is to provide more evidence of the same.
In a March 8, 2010 Wall Street Journal article, “ID Card for Workers is at Center of Immigration Plan”, you can see that it is the explicit intent of the leftists (such as Schumer), globalists and RINOs (such as Lindsay Graham) to force anyone applying for a job to present a national id to obtain one.
What do you think e-Verify is? It’s a web front end sitting on top of the US Department of Homeland Security’s national id database which integrates data from the US Department of Labor, the US Department of Health and Human Services, the State Department, pretty much every department, but most importantly and worst of all, from the states.
Why do the feds need the state data on the states’ own citizens so badly? Because otherwise, the feds to not have all of the data they need to track each legal citizen uniquely. Why? Because in the past it’s been ILLEGAL to do so. Not to mention the fact that there is absolutely no authority in the constitution for the federal government to track law abiding citzens, nor to expend sacred tax dollars on doing so.
How does the federal government get data from the states? There are several ways, but here’s a summary of a few relevant ones….
1) 42USC666 (a)(13), implemented under the federal Deadbeat Dad’s law. This federal statute required states to collect SSNs from all drivers’ license applicants and remit them to the federal government. However, this information alone was still not enough to create a water tight data tracking system for citizens (nor to obtain enough information on individuals to tie to legal gun purchases from dealers, but that’s another story.)
2) REAL ID. The REAL ID program was a federal mandate on the states to collect and remit certain information on their citzens in order for the federal government to complete building out their national id database. The cost of compliance on states was very high. Additionally, conservatives opposed this strongly on religious and political grounds and many states, such as Arizona, “opted out”.
3) A state voluntarily hands over the data.
This one is a tricky one. For example, the state of Arizona, has always traditionally resisted handing over data from its law abiding citizens. However, recently under SB1070, the anti-immigration law, SB1070 removes ALL RESTRICTIONS from sending and exchanging license data for ANY LICENSE for ANY PERSON (legal or illegal), with ANY AGENCY of the federal government.
SB1070 does not restrict the sending and exchange of law abiding Arizona citizens’ data with the feds to a police stop. It removes ALL RESTRICTIONS and ALL PROHIBITIONS from the exchange of law abiding Arizona citizens’ license data with the federal government, beginning July 1.
That means any agency that has license data on Arizonans can send all or none, it can send the entire database of license data anytime it wants, beginning July 1, 2010.
You can rest assured that the federal government, especially Janet Napolitano and the US Department of Homeland Security, will amply incentivize the MVD and DPS to do so, so she can get her hands on the data she needs to track your gun purchases, among other things.
So, whereas Arizona opted out of the federal mandate program called “REAL ID” wherein the federal government attempted to pull data from Arizona to complete its national id database data on Arizona citizens, under SB1070, Arizona turns around and hands Janet Napolitano and G_d only knows who else, including the IRS, all data it has on you as a law abiding Arizona citizen.
Hmm… betcha didn’t know that was in the immigration law, did ya?
So, how does that turn Arizona licenses into national ids? Despite the cartoon picture at the top of this post, a national id is not a card, barcode, RFID chip, nor a magnetic strip.
It is the DATA the government has on you, such as your unique identifers, name, domicile, any biometric identifiers such as the digitized MVD photo on your license, which is also in your MVD data file.
So, if Arizona hands the data over to the feds and the feds promptly stick the data in their national id database and all of that data links directly to your drivers license, guess what?!?!?!?
VOILA…. your Arizona drivers license turns into something Clinton always pined for and dreamed of foisting on the country, A NATIONAL ID CARD!
The same card can and will be used to deny birth certificates for your children, unless you agree to a national id card check.
The same card can and will be used to deny you the ability to work, per the WSJ article above, to deny you work. In other words, no citizen may work before the US Department of Homeland Security clears them to work (or doesn’t if you happen to be a political opponent.)
If you do not have your unique identifiers and national id on your mind or in your hand at all times, you will be denied the ability to buy, sell, or engage legally in any commercial transaction, such as banking, buying/selling a home, opening a business (SB1070 does not exempt the exchange of business license data with the feds either.)
Conservatives have ALWAYS opposed national ids, since day 1 when FDR wanted them, in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan was vehemently opposed, in the 1990s the conservatives stopped every Clinton and democrat attempt at creating them.

BEAUCHAMP ENDORSED BY NATIONAL BORDER PATROL COUNCIL
Bradley Beauchamp, candidate for Congress is Arizona’s First Congressional District, has officially been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council’s largest sector, Local 2544. Along with their endorsement of Mr. Beauchamp, the Border Patrol Council endorsed Bradley’s plan to secure our border. This endorsement puts the Border Patrol on a long list of Arizona law enforcement leaders that are supporting Beauchamp, such as Mohave County Sheriff Sheahan and Yavapai County Sheriff Waugh.
On Tuesday, Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council’s Local 2544, sent an official letter of endorsement to the Beauchamp for Congress campaign. President Judd wrote, “On behalf of the nearly 3,000 rank and file men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol in the Tucson Sector, it is my pleasure to endorse you in the Republican Primary for Congressional District 1 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Your no-nonsense approach and belief that our nation was founded on checks and balances afforded in our Great Constitution will be a refreshing change in a political climate controlled by special interests and the interests of self-serving politicians. We hope you will accept our endorsement and our best wishes in your primary campaign. We are confident you will win the primary and we look forward to working with you in the future.”
Bradley Beauchamp was proud to have the endorsement, saying, “I am honored to be endorsed by the brave men and women who do all they can to protect our borders. In Congress, I will work tirelessly to make sure these great patriots have all the tools necessary to keep our southern border safe and secure.”
A copy of the letter can be found HERE, and a copy of Beauchamp’s plan to secure our border can be viewed HERE.
Bradley Beauchamp was born and raised in Arizona. He worked his way up from washing dishes in a café and laboring in a turquoise mine to becoming a schoolteacher, successful attorney and most importantly, a defender of the Constitution.
Bradley Beauchamp graduated from Northern Arizona University and began teaching government and civics in Globe, Arizona. After several years in the classroom, and desiring to study the Constitution more in depth, he was accepted into the Thomas Jefferson School of Law. Upon graduating, he returned to Globe to practice law in the small towns and rural communities of Arizona. He is endorsed by many Republican leaders in Arizona’s First Congressional District, including Andy Tobin, Steve Waugh, Charles Christensen, Bobbi Peterson, John Rhodes, Terri Kibler, and Rick Fernau.

PHOENIX – For the third year in a row, Arizona Capitol Times readers have selected the Goldwater Institute as the state’s “Best Capitol Watchdog.”
“It’s our job to keep government in check. Too many government actors think they can operate without boundaries and that the Constitution is just a tired slip of paper–and we’re here to set them straight,” said Darcy Olsen, president and CEO of the Goldwater Institute. “We appreciate the peoples’ trust and look forward to advancing liberty even more in the years to come.”
As the state’s premier government watchdog organization, the Goldwater Institute fulfills its role through policy research, courtroom challenges and in-depth investigations. Some of the Institute’s recent successes include:
· Protecting your right to choose the health care you need. The Institute helped craft the Health Care Freedom Act, which will appear on the 2010 general election ballot in Arizona and two other states. More than 40 other states are also considering a version of the Health Care Freedom Act or already have implemented it.
· Defending free speech. A Goldwater Institute lawsuit prompted the U.S. Supreme Court to block the use of “matching funds” for taxpayer-subsidized candidates, enforcing a lower court order that says the scheme violates the First Amendment rights of privately-funded candidates.
· Identifying effective education reforms. Two years ago the Goldwater Institute recommended the adoption of proven education reforms, including: ending the social promotion of third graders who can’t read, alternative teacher certification so non-teachers who are experts in their field can enter the profession, and evaluating schools by letter grades–A through F–rather than the former, misleading “performing” and “excelling” labels. Arizona lawmakers adopted these and other Goldwater Institute-inspired education reforms during this year’s session.
· Upholding the state constitution’s ban on business subsidies. A Goldwater Institute lawsuit objected to a nearly $100 million subsidy for the CityNorth shopping mall which led to a state Supreme Court ruling that forbids corporate welfare schemes in the future.
· Promoting government transparency. The Goldwater Institute has long led the call for a more transparent government. This year Arizona lawmakers adopted a Goldwater idea to make all state and local governments, as well as school districts, post their check registers online.
The Arizona Capitol Times’ “Best Capitol Watchdog” award was presented to the Goldwater Institute Tuesday night as part of its fourth annual “Best of the Capitol Awards.”
The Goldwater Institute is an independent government watchdog supported by people who are committed to expanding free enterprise and liberty.
