Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit NTU's Taxpayer Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: For political reasons, Congress is rushing to enact the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission before it adjourns for the November elections. Unfortunately, some in Congress who have long wished to impose a national identification system on all Americans see this as their opportunity. Even the apolitical National Research Council has recognized that standardized driver's licenses -- as has been proposed -- would be a "nationwide identity system." The costs to taxpayers of a national ID system have been pegged at a minimum of $4 billion, with one estimate of $25 to $30 billion to establish the program, and another $3 billion to $6 billion per year to run it.
