Amparo,

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 click here to send them a message?

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.

Thanks for your support.
