VA Real ID

I just recieved this in an e-mail from a friend and didn't know what to do with it other than post it here.

I just went onto the Virginia DMV website to find out what I needed to bring to get a new driver's license. For a split second. Not even a second. A MOMENT. There flashed on the DMV home page "Real ID Task Force" amongst a pleathera of other flashing links...a flashing link to...something. And then that page disappeared and was replaced by the usual DMV business. It took me 4 tries to be fast enough to catch the flashing link which took me here:

And which consisted of this:

I googled Real ID Act and found this:

Not from a watchdog group, not a conspiracy theory site. Fucking CNet! A fucking techie site!

And if you notice, the meeting takes place at 9AM on a fucking tuesday.... When people are at work. Nice.

I'm posting this here to pass along this horrifying information. I don't know what else to do but maybe call or e-mail your senator or fuck I don't know.....
