 Barack,

Have you heard? The US government is developing virtual ID cards for
Internet users -- and they could pose a severe threat to our privacy!

The proposal is called the "National Strategy for Trusted Identities in
Cyberspace” and the draft  indicates that *we'd be forced* to use them for
any online transactions with the government, and for online interactions
with businesses that choose to use them.

*It's a draft proposal, so we still have a chance to convince government
officials to re-write it so that it respects our privacy rights: Will you

message?<http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/internetid/?akid=82.56590.rSkmp2&rd=1&t=1>
*

If the system is fully implemented you'll have one centralized online ID,
making it even easier to track your online activity: Officials need to make
sure any proposal maintains Americans' rights to privacy and anonymity.*

*The government shouldn't be forcing Americans to use Internet ID cards.
Please click here, and stand up for Internet privacy before it's too
late.*<http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/internetid/?akid=82.56590.rSkmp2&rd=1&t=1>

Thanks for your support.
