KATHLEEN HUNTER, STATELINE - The landmark U.S. intelligence overhaul passed by Congress includes the first mandatory federal identification standards for drivers' licenses, birth certificates and other forms of state-issued ID. . . The intelligence bill, which stemmed from recommendations of the independent commission that investigated the 9-11 attacks, requires the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security to establish minimum identification standards for drivers' licenses and other state-issued identification cards. If a state's license does not meet the standards in two years, federal agencies will not be allowed accept it as valid identification for such purposes as boarding airplanes and many other common transactions of daily life. The bill also sets a two-year deadline for states to conform with minimum standards for birth certificates. Those will be set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. John Hurson, president of the National Conference of State Legislatures has called efforts to establish minimum standards for drivers' licenses "nothing more than an end-run on states' rights." Never before has the federal government regulated state-issued drivers' licenses or birth certificates.

On the homefront, Democrats are talking about how to reconnect with rural voters. It's an important conversation, as much about the decline in the party's fortunes can be traced to the fact that people who live in small towns provided President Bush with overwhelming support in 2004.
As John Nichols writes in The Online Beat, "If Democrats want to improve their fortunes in the elections of 2006 and 2008, they should learn to speak once more for the interests of rural Americans. And the best place to start doing so is by challenging the pro-free trade, pro-corporate agribusiness policies of new Bush nominee Mike Johanns--and by speaking, bluntly, about the threat those policies pose to working farmers and rural America."

The Administration's policies are also threatening the stability of the SocialSecurity system--a pillar of the New Deal which provides tens of millions ofworkers with a guaranteed retirement income as well as disability and life insurance during their working lives.
