I’m pleased and humbled to have been named one of the Ars Technica/​Tech Policy Central “People to Watch” in 2009. Along with my opposition to the REAL ID national identification scheme, they cite my work opposing the E‑Verify national worker background check system (which would ultimately require a national ID).

Considering how the economic stimulus bill may be a vehicle for mandating broader use of E‑Verify, the first thing you might see from watching me in 2009 might be an angry and disappointed advocate for liberty.
