Libertarians declaring "I am not a government number" are trying to repeal a new law requiring Social Security numbers on all types of state licenses."It matters little whether your state requires the Social Security number to be on the face of the license or is just recorded on the application, the invasion of privacy is the same," said State Chair Rodney Travis.

Now, Libertarians are mounting a petition drive to build public support.
