How awful is it? Seriously, just straight up terrible. I wonder if there's anywhere online one could protest this?

I mean seriously, at least have some type of online voting for all Texans to decide.

I didn't know there was a new one. Can you detail some of the problems with it?

I'm assuming it still has the stupid mag stripe with biometric information in it, and probably a hologram built into it.

Is your complaint about the functional purpose or the aesthetic design?

What problems do you have with it? Is it functional? Is it just that you don't like how it looks? I haven't seen the new one and likely won't until 2011 when mine comes up for renewal.

Who are we going to protest against? We are just peons. Mere peasants ruled by big govt who runs the show. If we were to peacefully assemble which is/was guaranteed under the constitution then the pigs would arrest us for unlawfull assembly.

That new drivers license is the least of our worries. I dont even mind it. Austin may be different then where I live but it is the capital so what's wrong with a picture of the state house on the license? A Texas license is less costly then most state DLs but I have a big problem charging a penalty to new comers who apply for a DL. The penalty for a new resident is $90.00
