Please spread the word about tomorrow, and try to e-mail the senators listed in this post! Many thanks to the NH Liberty Alliance and Granite State ID!

When: 1:00 PM, Tuesday, March 25th
Where: LOB 304 [ Map ]
Why: SB434 - AN ACT relative to providers of electronic communication services and an extension for compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005.
What: House public hearing. Standard Hearing rules apply - Blue sheet to support or oppose, pink card to speak. Make no speech longer than 5 minutes (3 is better); don't repeat what others have said.

NH law specifically prohibits compliance with Real-ID.
And here is the Senate, all 24 of 'em, voting to urge the Governor to file for an extension so we can come into "compliance" with REAL-ID!
This is the Senate playing legal word-games in a way the Governor was quite possibly fully anticipating.

SB 434 reads, quote:
The governor, or designee, is requested to apply for an extension from the federal government of the deadline for compliance with the REAL ID Act of 2005. Such a request shall not constitute "participation" in REAL ID in violation of state law.

We need people to show up en masse to oppose this.

If you can't be there in person, please send an email to the members of the Committee.
Ask them not to pass SB434, or at least to remove the Real-ID section.
Here are their addresses, just copy-and-paste into the "To:" line of your email
