Republican Georgia state legislator Bobby Franklin thinks that driver’s licenses impose undue restrictions on the right of citizens to travel. So he’s proposed legislation to stop the state from issuing them. “Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose,” Franklin’s legislation states. “Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people, because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right.” 
 
 In an interview with CBS Atlanta News, Franklin claimed driver’s licenses are a throw back to oppressive times. “Have you ever had critics say, ‘Look, some of these bills are a waste of paper?’” Schramm asked. "We’re getting that way here.” 
 
 CBS Atlanta's Rebekka Schramm asked Franklin, “How are we going to keep up with who’s who and who’s on the roads and who’s not supposed to be on the roads?” 
 
 “That’s a great question," Franklin said. That’s not the only eyebrow raising legislation Franklin has introduced: he’s also proposed bills requiring the exclusive use of gold and silver as tender in payment of debts by or to the state; a bill seeking to eliminate crop management regulations; another bill banning forced vaccinations; a bill to stop the collection of the Georgia income tax; another to stop all property taxes and yet another to end eminent domain.
– Driver’s licenses—who needs ‘em? No one, according to a Republican lawmaker in Georgia. State Rep. Bobby Franklin is sponsoring the “Right to Travel Act,” a bill that says everyone has the “constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways”—and that, therefore, requiring drivers to be licensed infringes on that right. “Agents of the state demanding your papers,” Franklin explains to CBS Atlanta. “We’re getting that way here. … Why do you need to know who’s who” on the roads? What about the problem of kids driving? Franklin answers that there’s nothing stopping them from driving now anyway. This isn’t the first weird bill Franklin’s behind, Talking Points Memo notes: He’s also introduced a bill that would require gold and silver to be used when paying debts to the state, a bill that would ban forced vaccinations, bills to do away with Georgia’s income tax and all property taxes, and one especially strange one that would guarantee everyone’s right to potentially harm another person.
