| Message | Council. We ask you to recognize our existing law as one that imposes unnecessary restrictions on our fellow citizens. Our current law stifles people who may want to limit their involvement with the government, such as rural citizens. |

| Message | As a 'rural citizen' for most of my life, I wouldn't want to die and left unidentified, unable to enter an establishment, unable to apply for a position, or any matter of things because I thought I didn't want a card. Céline Schroeder State Chancellor Co-Leader of the Bright Alliance |

| Message | Frau Schroeder, This bill does not restrict any citizen rights, nor would it even if we were proposing that identity cards were to be made voluntary. This merely absolves citizens of the responsibility of carrying their identity card when out and about. We believe that the law requiring identity cards to be carried at all time is unnecessarily authoritarian. Law enforcement services already keep DNA samples on file, so this serves no real purpose, especially in areas of low population density. |

| Message | Frau Schroeder, By not carrying the card, citizens put themselves at risk. These cards are vitally important whenever a person needs to prove identification, and to help law enforcement. Why you think it is a crisis in this country that you have to carry a card is beyond me. Céline Schroeder State Chancellor Co-Leader of the Bright Alliance |
