More details
The NIR (National Identity register) is an invasive database which will contain 51 categories of information about every UK citizen and resident foreigner living in Great Britain. In the initial stages it will be voluntary but eventually it will be mandatory. We are seeing the first stages of it in our new passports. This scheme will be incredibly expensive and unnecessary. The technology they are using is untrusted and untested, it will not work, the government will keep throwing more money at it, taking funding out of health care, emergency services, education, social services, upkeep of public property such as roads and parks, law courts and law enforcement, national defense etc. If this happen the UK will go the way of the Soviet Union.

Comments on this pledge

• Those who oppose any form of National Identification should immediately contact Congressman Ron Paul and urge him to run for President as well as volunteer for his campaign as he's the only prospective 2008 candidate who has a track record of consistently defending your rights, as guaranteed by the United States Constitution, regardless of party politics or prevailing political winds.

• Everyone who opposes the National ID scheme should contact Congressman Ron Paul's office immediately and urge him to enter the 2008 Presidential race. He's the only prospective Presidential candidate with a track record of defending your Constitutional freedoms and rights regardless of party politics or prevailing political winds. Get aboard his campaign to send the message now!

• Andrew, we in the U.S. are facing the same monster. Here it's called the "Real ID act". It actually passed a couple of years ago, but some states are locally passing laws barring implementation of it. (According to the law the individual states have to implement this.) I salute those of you in the U.K. who are standing for freedom.
