This evening, the Stein Campaign uploaded its "Immigration Reform v. Scientist's National ID Card"
video on You Tube. The video can be seen now at: www.youtube.com/JothamStein4Congress.
By mid-day tomorrow, the video can also be found by searching for "Bill Foster National ID Card"
at www.youtube.com
The video features Jotham Stein's Comprehensive Immigration Reform Plan and
a harsh critique of Foster's National ID Card and the biometrics Foster favors. The video
also includes a mocked-up National ID Card and a screen shot of Foster's website where
he is proud to say that Newt Gingrich would support his National ID Card Plan.
At the Beacon News endorsement session today, Bill Foster reconfirmed that he
favors a National ID Card, which he calls a Worker ID Card, and that the card may
include biometrics. Biometrics means a hand print, eye scan, or even a person's DNA.
Every American with a job would carry one. Foster also discussed his National ID Card
at the October 23, 2007 Candidate's Forum, a partial recording of which is on YouTube.
"We don't need a National Identity Card. I don't want the government prying
into every part of my life or every part of your lives," Stein said. "That's not the America
I want to live in and I absolutely oppose Mr. Foster's National ID Card. We need
Comprehensive Immigration Reform and my Comprehensive Immigration Reform Plan
is on my website for everyone to see." Stein concluded.

I am a Democrat running for Congress in Illinois' 14th Congressional District. I call on Representative Dennis Hastert to support an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
I believe it's time for us to bring our troops home. U.S. troops destroyed the Iraqi army in days and liberated Iraq from a dangerous dictator. We've won the war. Now it's time for the Iraqi people to take responsibility for their own future, and for us to bring our brave men and women home.
Dennis Hastert has spent the last four years defending President Bush's failed strategies in Iraq. Dennis Hastert's blind support for President Bush on Iraq is making our country weaker, not stronger.
The next Congressional elections will be an optimal time for Illinois to pick up another Democratic Seat in Congress. It now looks like Dennis Hastert, the former Speaker of the House, will not run again in 2008. Whether or not he does, I am running for Congress in the 14th District. My name is Jotham Stein and I am proud to be running for Congress as a Democrat, but I need your help.
Last election cycle, in a Democratic tsunami, the blue state of Illinois did not gain one Congressional seat for the Democratic majority. With your help and the push of a Presidential year that has two front runners with Illinois ties, I believe we can turn the 14th Congressional District blue, but there is much work to be done. That is why I am starting my campaign now and working hard to bring about this change.
