Take Action! Oppose "Sucker Money" Real ID Funding Amendment

The supporters of Real ID are at it again, making a last ditch effort to save the embattled program, which 17 states have already rejected.  As part of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Bill, to be debated on the Senate floor the week of July 23rd, Sen. Lamar Alexander will offer an amendment to fund Real ID to the tune of $300 million.  Of course, this is a drop in the bucket compared to the $23 billion DHS has estimated Real ID will cost nationally

Call your Senators today and tell them to oppose Sen. Alexander's Sucker Money Amendment!
