Who

Everyone who want to take a stand against the Unconstitutional and Orwellian Real ID Act!

Why

Show up to support the Anti-Real ID Bill in the PA Legislature. Show the "powers that be" that We The People will not stand for being treated like a piece of inventory and having to carry our "papers" just to be able to live and conduct business.

Organized by

PAFA

Details

"I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 418, the REAL ID Act. This bill purports to make us safer from terrorists who may sneak into the United States, and from other illegal immigrants. While I agree that these issues are of vital importance, this bill will do very little to make us more secure. It will not address our real vulnerabilities. It will, however, make us much less free. In reality, this bill is a Trojan horse. It pretends to offer desperately needed border control in order to stampede Americans into sacrificing what is uniquely American: our constitutionally protected liberty."- Ron Paul

For more information on Real ID, its status in PA, and this event, please watch the following video, produced by a member of the Ron Paul Revolution Pittsburgh Area Freedom Activists.

Please share it with everyone you know in southwestern PA!

Pittsburgh, this is our time to rise!!

Aaron Russo's America:Freedom to Fascism organization has been involved in the Anti-Real ID movement in Pennsylvania. They have met with PA State representatives who have introduced Anti-Real ID legislation in the PA House. They have sponsored rallies all around the state in opposition to Real ID. Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Johnstown and other cities have already had their chance to speak out against this piece of Orwellian legislation which is set to come into effect this year. Now it is our turn to speak out against this horrible assault against our liberties and let our state government know that we want that legislation passed now!

AFTF and NVCCA are calling on all freedom activists to attend the Conference being held by the state in Pittsburgh

It will be held at the William Pitt Union Ballroom on the Pitt Campus in Oakland on Thursday, March 13th from 10AM-Noon. So mark your calenders, take off of work that day or take a half-day whatever you have to do, just be there!

We will not stand for a National-ID card because, as Ron Paul has said, government should be protecting the privacy of individuals not the secrecy and privacy of government. We should not have to live in a country where government officials demand to "see our papers". It is just Unconstitutional and should not be something a free people have to do.

For more information on the Real ID Act watch Aaron Russo's Documentary: America: Freedom to Fascism. The full-length movie is available on Google Video.

We also must spread the word about this rally so our fellow Pittsburghers can attend and understand the dangers of Real ID and get involved in the fight against it. There will be more information about how we can do that later. If you can help spread the word please email ronpaulpgh@gmail.com.
RSVP 'YES', now to join the fight against Real-ID in Pennsylvania.
