Still Time to Urge Congress to Oppose the REAL ID Act

Dear Karen,

There is still time to oppose the REAL ID Act. The House of
Representatives is expected to vote on this bill this afternoon.


Urge your Representative to vote "NO" on the REAL ID Act.

The REAL ID Act, introduced by House Judiciary Committee
Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) on January 26, 2005, places
refugees at an increased risk of persecution and erodes this
country's historic commitment to protect those seeking safe
haven.

If enacted, The REAL ID Act will:

*Place refugees at an increased risk of persecution and;

*Erode this country's historic commitment to protect those
seeking safe haven.

A report released Tuesday by the bi-partisan U.S. Commission on
International Religious Freedom at the request of Congress
documents a number of serious failings in U.S. treatment of
asylum seekers and shows how hard it already is for refugees who
flee from religious and other persecution to receive asylum in
this country. The REAL ID Act would further increase the already
significant burdens facing refugees who seek asylum here.

Please contact your Representatives and urge them to preserve
our nation's commitment to protecting refugees by opposing the
REAL ID Act.
