Dear [Name],

This is in response to your letter to the President
concerning the State of Pennsylvania's use of Social Security 
numbers (SSNs) on drivers licenses.

We contacted the State of Pennsylvania and learned that the 
legislation you cited was passed last year without consulting 
the Social Security Administration.  Since they were aware 
that the Amish are exempt from Social Security coverage, they 
assumed that other individuals would be also.

It was not until after the legislation was enacted that they 
learned that there is no waiver permitting individuals not to 
have SSNs.  However, there are no present efforts underway to 
amend the wording of the law.

Enclosed is a fact sheet detailing all circumstances under 
which a person is required to provide a SSN and the law which 
created that requirement.

If you have additional questions, you may contact any Social 
Security office.

                                   Sincerely,

                                   [signed]

                                   Vincent Sanudo, Director
                                   Office of Public Inquiries

Enclosure

All information presented here is done so under the protection of the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and article I section 2 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Furthermore, as established in the famous trial of William Penn in August 1670, and contrary to the unlawful instructions given by most American judges, in addition to judging the facts of a case, juries also have the right and duty to pass judgement on the law (meaning they may acquit a violator of the law if they believe the law in question is unconstitutional, immoral, just plain stupid, or if the penalty is deemed too harsh). Juries are also lawfully free to vote according to their conscience, above all other considerations.
