Sponsored by Alaska Rep. John Coghill and co-Sponsors are Rep Kawaski, Rep Gruenberg, Rep Gardner, Rep Seaton, Rep Meyer, Rep Holmes, Rep Guttenberg, rep Doll, Rep Ramras posted on:March 10, 2008 Bill version CHSJR 19 (STA); Status: 3rd Reading, 3/25 Calendar (H);2008-03-02
Real ID is an attempt to protect our country from terrorism that is full of unintended consequences. First of all, this federal law is in direct conflict with the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Secondly, the federal government is holding individual Alaskans accountable for the actions of state government. Thirdly, the Real ID Act threatens personal liberties without any evidence of making our citizens and our borders any more protected from terrorism.
The State of Alaska is one of 45 states that obtained the first extension of implementation, but this is only a temporary reprieve from the problem. Without the repeal of the REAL ID Act or a further extension, federal agencies will not accept Alaskan driver's licenses or identification cards for official purposes as of December 31, 2009.
The Department of Administration recently estimated front end costs for interfacing the REAL ID database with DMV would cost at least $2 million. Additional funds would be required to interface with the Bureau of Vital Statistics and the Department of Public Safety. Annual operating costs would also have to be funded and the Administration has no estimate of that cost.
HJR 19 is a message to Congress that the Alaska Legislature objects to the federal government taking away states rights and individual rights as a method of imposing a system that will ultimately not make the United States any safer. The resolution asks Congress to repeal the Real ID Act of 2005.
Has anyone noticed that its OK to say this is against the Constitution for Real ID but if you say that with the National Animal Identification System you are labled as an opponent, a trouble maker, a miss informed uneducated farmer.
How come our Representative will NOT issue a bill, pass a bill against the National Animal Identification System? Is it because they fear the hand that feeds them which is the Federal Government by stopping all forms of Federal money?
National Animal Identification system is an attempt to protect our country from Foreign animal diseases that is full of unintended consequences. First of all, this federal law is in direct conflict with the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Secondly, the federal government is holding individual Alaskans accountable for the actions of the USDA and Trade agreements. Thirdly, the National Animal Identification system threatens personal liberties without any evidence of making our citizens and our borders any more protected from Disease.
The State of Alaska is one of 50 states that obtained Federal Funding to implement the National Animal Identification system via Cooperative Agreements which requires all livestock owners to register private property with a USDA premises Identification. This number which can never be removed from the land unless it is paved over. First extension of implementation, but this is only a temporary reprieve from the problem. Without the repeal of the REAL ID Act or a further extension, federal agencies will not accept Alaskan driver's licenses or identification cards for official purposes as of December 31, 2009.

Again if this message by the Alaska Legislature objects to the federal government taking away states rights and INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS how come they are NOT opposing the NAIS? The NAIS is about my individual rights, a method (NAIS) of imposing a system that will ultimatley not make the United States any safer. Remember foreign agreements are dictating to the USA via Trade agreements worth much more then a mere farmers pig or chicken or goat or even that one horse you may own.
Testing and Quarantine is considered a TRADE BARRIER..
