| Message | The Independent Centrist Party sees the current government policy of issuing ID cards but not requiring citizens to carry them a waste of taxpayer funds. Either issue them, and require citizens to be in possession at all times, or do not issue them at all. The ICP supports this legislation, however if it fails, the ICP will support legislation to require citizens to carry ID cards at all times. The ICP is indifferent to national ID cards in principal. A driver’s license, birth certificate, social security card, and passport (to name a few) are all forms of government identification and serve the same purpose in identifying a citizen to the government. A national ID card is just another collection point of information already provided. However, citizens should identify themselves to their own government, otherwise who do we have a government for? |
