Postpone the date everyone MUST have a Gold Star ID in order to fly in the US

The government actually beat me to it! Go figure.

On October 1, 2020, it will be impossible to board a plane in the US with your driver's license unless it's a Gold Star License. But almost all DMV offices in the US have been closed for over a month now. When/if stay-at-home/shelter-in-place/social distancing rules are relaxed and these offices re-open, they will be swamped with people trying to get their Gold Star license in order to be able to fly without providing several other pieces of official identification.

Please postpone the required date for US citizens to get a Gold Star driver's license to 2021.

Why is this important?

Once Americans are able to travel again, we won't be able to without Gold Star driver's licenses. It's going to be physically impossible to have that large of a number of people get their Gold Star licenses by such an early deadline.

Thanks, everyone, but it turns out, I was late! It's already been postponed 'till October 1, 2021.

Trying to figure out how to remove this petition now....anyone? Anyone? Buehler?
