Social Security Card Burn

Russell and Kat have drawn a line in the sand... Big Brother is not welcome in New Hampshire.
The symbol of burning their Social Security cards says NO to the RealID Act the National ID.
"Feel Like a Number" if we don't say NO NATIONAL ID our children will inherit the unFree America we allow.
All are welcome, whether you want to watch, hold a sign or join in the burning.? Lady Liberty will be making an appearance at the event.

What: Civil disobedience against National ID
Where: Social Security Office, 70 Commercial Street in Concord, NH
When: Saturday, November 12 @ noon
Who: Russell Kanning and Kat Dillon of Keene, NH, supporters from NHfree.com
Why: To draw attention to the continuing loss of privacy and freedom due to National ID
How: By burning social security cards
Contacts: Russell Kanning: (603) 357-2049, Kat Dillon (same number)

-Welcome to the machine-
Pink Floyd

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you
know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star,
He played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the Machine.


Would you like a sign? Let me know.

Perhaps your more of a Bob Seger fan than Pink Floyd.

-Feel Like A Number-
Bob Seger

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm just another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number
Dammit I'm a man
I said I'm a man

Please don't be upset.  I was working from Friday night until about 5am Saturday, then I went to sleep at 6am, causing me to be very tired and show up 45 minutes late to the event.

Luckily, I do not work this Friday night, or I wouldn't be able to go to your event.   :o

What is the nh underground? Isn't it just a place for people to hang out and plan events?
Wasn't the rfid protest and speedway fundraiser promoted on this forum and attended by guys that hang out on this forum? You were there both times Mike .... how many people that were at those events also have usernames here? Somehow we got reports about those events ....someone from here must have been there.

I personally do not like to protest walmart, but that didn't stop any of you from doing it. Kat and I couldn't come to the speedway, but patmc, cnht, you, davemincin, seth, musestion, candy, friday, dawn, gard, coffey's, villee, max, ...... made it. They all are or have been a "part" of the underground, but are more known for other affiliations. The underground doesn't really exist ..... so it cannot have a good showing at an event. :)

A poll is not the same as voting to force your will on to someone else. I just wanted to get an idea of the number of folks that will turn out.

My wife and son are going to be there, the ones I know I can count on. We'll have fun and capture an image of the moment.

I didn't go to the RFID event... the need to pick out the things that are with in our grasp means letting some things go by. Prioritizing is what I end up having to do.

I won't be burning a SS card, we'll have signs for people, shoot video and pictures and have as much fun as I feel we can get away with. The least I can do considering the courage of Mr. Monkey and Kat. The same emotion motivated me to go to New London for Lauren's rally.

We all do what we feel we can. Mike, Russell, Kat, Lauren etc. your courage motivated me to get involved with the NH Underground's approach to change. We learn to count on each other and enthusiasm grows.

People will attend the events they are interested in.  I don't want "reciprocal activists" at any events I'm organizing.  I want people who believe in the cause.  (Whatever it is.)

In the case of the RFID protest, if I was to have showed up, it would have been in protest of your protest.  Much like you'd have done for the Lost Liberty Hotel.  Surely you wouldn't have attended their events, feeling the way you do, would you?

Create a good event, promote it, and they will come.   8)

As I discussed with Joel on Sunday, I remain unconvinced that, because I hate the idea of my government spying on me, I should protest Walmart for using RFID chips.  I like Warlmart and their low prices, and RFID chips are a cool technology that could help keep their prices low.  Maybe I need to read Catherine Albrecht's book to understand this issue fully.  I was at the NHLA Civic Action fundraiser.

I agree that it's desirable to support each other's events, but not if you don't even agree with the purpose of the event.  :)

I think that RFID is cool and useful for inventory purposes but.... that is not what Walmart is doing.  It is on the product for people to take home.  It is only a few more steps before the govt gets involved.

I am not saying that people should have gone or not.  Pick and choose but Ian why would you want to protest the protest? (That I don't understand).

I had no intention of going until I heard Katherine speak.

Just a couple of things:
1.  Katherine has asked Walmart to not use RFID on consumer products.  AND it they did she is asking for disclosure to customers.  She does NOT want to get the government involved.
2.  What if the govt wants to use the info from Walmart against you?

You can be a capitalist and still think that big business does some shitty things.

Of course I can.  I just don't think RFID is a shitty thing.  It's pretty damn cool.

Yes, if government gets involved, it can be shitty, but that's when the protest should happen, IMO.

So we shouldn't protest companies? ???
I hate Nike I won't buy Nike.  Consumer pressure is the best way to get companies to change... NOT thru regulation.

Also lets say that Walmart has the best intentions?
I worked on an RFID program once... it is cool... but.... ( have Katherine on your show-- worse case you can debate her)
Then Govt gets all the records (because with the Patriot Act they can)
How are you going to protest that?  It is already too late.
Title: Re: Social Security Card Burn can we make a difference
Post by: FTL_Ian on November 09, 2005, 03:09 PM NHFT
Sure, protest companies if you like.  Personally I've never hated a company enough to protest it.  I'd just rather stop shopping there and perhaps talk about how crappy they are on my show.

My time is limited, so I'd rather spend time protesting the coercive state instead of a voluntary company.

In regards to your final question, there are lots of terrible things the govt does and they deserve to be protested against, even after the fact. 

Really, should we protest every business that collects personal information because there's a chance that they might turn the info over to the govt?
Title: Re: Social Security Card Burn can we make a difference
Post by: Russell Kanning on November 09, 2005, 04:04 PM NHFT
I don't "protest" companies I don't like. I just don't use them and tell others.
Maybe if Walmart was actually doing something horrible.

Do we protest banks because they share info with the government?
Title: Re: Social Security Card Burn can we make a difference
Post by: Dreepa on November 09, 2005, 04:16 PM NHFT
I think you guys are missing the point.

Check out Katherine's book or website.

RFID makes it sooooooo much easier for the Govt to collect info on you.

Trust me I am not the protesting business type.   But I figured that you guys would also realize that getting the word out is a way to inform people about RFID.  I don't shop at Walmart they lose one customer... if I tell people they might lose more.

Russell, Kat, Ian etc.

Hey just thought it would be great if we could get a pre-event radio interview...
We could use the audio (with Ian's permission of course) to edit with the video footage. Add another dimension.

FTL and or any other call in show. Would generate a larger audience for the event. With a follow up interview post event.

I won't be burning a SS card, we'll have signs for people, shoot video and pictures and have as much fun as I feel we can get away with. The least I can do considering the courage of Mr. Monkey and Kat. The same emotion motivated me to go to New London for Lauren's rally.

We all do what we feel we can. Mike, Russell, Kat, Lauren etc. your courage motivated me to get involved with the NH Underground's approach to change. We learn to count on each other and enthusiasm grows.

Agreed.  We all do what we can with what we've got.  :)

Hey Lloyd maybe you missed the press release. ;D

========================================
For Immediate Release
Subject:? Social Security Card Burn

When Social Security was first foisted on America, the cards were imprinted with, "Not to be used for Identification."? People were wary of the tyranny involved with a national ID card, so the government had to promise that the Social Security number would never be used for ID.? They have broken that promise.? As Americans became resigned to the idea of having a national number, the promise was quietly removed from the cards.? Now, of course, the social security number is used for so many purposes, it is a defacto national ID number.? Doctors, banks, motor vehicle departments, utilities companies?the list is endless of groups wanting your national ID number, groups having nothing to do with social security and retirement funds.

Now, with the passage of the Real ID act, the National ID card is outright law, and no longer just a defacto national ID number.? Individuals wishing to travel in this country, whether it be driving themselves or riding on trains, busses, and airplanes will now be required to carry their national ID card, with their national ID number included on it.? Even walking in public requires a person to carry their ID, as recent court decisions show.? National ID cards are to carry "biometric data" probably in the form of a RFID chip, which can be read from a distance.? Personal data about you will be available to any hacker on the street, in addition to being given to the Mexican and Canadian governments.

National ID cards have long been a tool of tyrannical government.? A government which abuses and therefore fears its populace needs to be able to track them at all times.? No government who governs justly need barricade itself in, as Washington D.C. has done.? A government who remains the servant of the people need not track the peoples' every move.

To protest the injustice of the national ID number and national ID card, Russell Kanning and Kat Dillon of NHFree.com invite the people of New Hampshire to join us in burning the symbols of our oppression.? We will be gathering on November 12th at 12 noon at Two Corporate Center at Horseshoe Pond, 70 Commercial Street in Concord, NH to burn our social security cards.? All are welcome, whether you want to watch or join in the burning.? Lady Liberty will be making an appearance at the event.

When asked, both the Social Security Administration and the Concord Police Department have refused to comment on whether burning one's Social Security Card is illegal.? We don't know at this time whether we will be arrested for this act or not.? Kanning was arrested last June for attempting to board a flight to Philadelphia without showing his ID.

What: Civil disobedience against National ID
Where: Social Security Office, 70 Commercial Street in Concord, NH
When: Saturday, November 12 @ noon
Who: Russell Kanning and Kat Dillon of Keene, NH, supporters from NHfree.com
Why: To draw attention to the continuing loss of privacy and freedom due to National ID
How: By burning social security cards
Contacts: Russell Kanning: (603) 357-2049, Kat Dillon (same number)

So it looks like I-93 to 202-west, then right onto Constitution Ave. (like the sound of that), then right on Commercial St. and we are there --Social Security Office-- 70 Commercial Street in Concord, NH

12 noon see you there. :)

Every map shows it a little different .... but I think we have all figured it out. After we turn west on 202 we will take a right on Constitution or Commercial or NMain streets. The SSA is suite 100 and is the next building after the Courtyard by Marriot.

I've been thinking about what a National ID means for America and our childrens future...

If someone said 'why are you trying to stop this?'
What's wrong with SSN number being used for your ID number?

I'd have to tell the story of my son having a SSN attached to him at birth against our explicit refusal. We were within the law to not have him a SSN issued. We signed an agreement with the hospital's "Privacy Officer". We talked to her for 30 minutes and she acted like she completely understood our concerns and desires.

Well two weeks later, got in the mail, his SSN. When called on this the "Privacy Officer" claimed it all was a mistake. >:(

They tagged our only son, not for his benefit, they tag our children so they can control them. Track them, send them to the government indoctrination centers (public schools), and if they need cannon fodder when he reaches 18... he gets shipped halfway around the world to die for somebodies elses reasons.:'(

This 'total information awareness' system that our "free" country has created... That is poised to engulf our privacy.

Anyway... what are your reasons for wanting to stop this.

Tomorrow at the event, if you feel the desire to express these feelings to my camera, well that would be great. If we speak to people from our hearts instead of a bunch of dry rhetoric, we can reach them. I few little snippets, sound bites would be useful.

If we can't articulate our feelings... how would you explain to a friend, your parents, your children.

I think it is worthwhile to simply remind people that they are numbered and the sinister implications of this.

The root of Real ID, the National ID system that has yet to be fully implimented, is the use of the SSN as the universal identifier.
Many people I talk to (non libertarians) have an undercurrent of distaste for being numbered. The DMV experience that people go through today to show documentation etc. is a real sore point. Even alot of the people working in the jobs that have to demand this stuff don't feel this stuff is very American. We all just think there is nothing we can do about it.
