ID cards - time to put your money up
Many people in these NGs passionately oppose the introduction of
compulsory biometric ID cards. No2ID have created a 'pledge' at
http://www.pledgebank.com/refuse, the idea being is that each of the
signatories pledges 10 only if at least 10,000 others also pledge
10. The money will go into a defence fund for individuals who are
prosecuted for resisting registration.
3,500 people have signed up in 5 days. The hope is to get 10,000
people signed up before the second reading of the ID Cards Bill on
28th June.
I've signed up. Will you?
To quote Phil Booth, No2ID National Co-coordinator:
--- QUOTE ---
Say NO to ID cards and the database state!
Polls have shown for some time that 3 - 4 million people across the UK
strongly oppose the Government's plans to introduce ID cards and a
National Identity Register. Were this many of us refuse to cooperate
then the scheme would be doomed to failure.
If the Government do manage to force through the ID cards legislation,
this pledge will not only demonstrate the level of solidarity amongst
opponents of the scheme - it will form the basis of a fighting fund*
and support network for all those who refuse to comply.
NO2ID continues to campaign against the introduction of ID cards and
the National Identity Register on all fronts, for more information on
what you can do NOW, please visit www.no2id.net
