ID Theft Protections -- good state ones, and a potential bad federal one.

Consumers Union is launching a letter drive to representatives to block the bill that just came out of a congressional committee. They could vote on H.R. 3997 at any moment -- so send your rep an email telling him or her the ID Theft Protection laws should be strengthened, not weakened!

Gaah. Is there anything these greedy little twerps won't do to line the pockets of business at the expense of their constituents?

Uh . . . no?

Yes, that's the correct answer. No. With the possible exception of selling their only daughter into slavery.

(Although they might encourage her to marry a rising young fellow who is suspected of abusing girlfriends, figuring they can protect her from him, yet benefit from the marriage . . ..)

You're welcome!

Just once, couldn't they choose the best state law, and make that one Federal? Just once?
