The link provides an easy way to send a note to your Congressperson. ************************************** Your Social Security number is yours--and should be protected. Support strong federal legislation to secure your Social Security Number.http://email.consumerreports.org/r/c...sQ.C5Sr2S..N.C... [or:http://tinyurl.com/26vzrd] Your Social Security number gives thieves the key to your credit and your money. With so many copies floating around, it's no wonder ID theft has directly affected 1 in 4 Americans. The Social Security Administration created your Social Security number solely for the purpose of giving you Social Security benefits. It has become a defacto national ID number for commercial use--but with few or no restrictions. We can't turn back the clock. Your private ID number is out there. But we can stop companies from selling your Social Security number, or printing it on documents that can be easily stolen from your mail box or wallet. Lawmakers concerned about your privacy recently filed strong legislation to protect you. Help us pass this new law in 2008 with a quick message to your own Representative now.http://email.consumerreports.org/r/c...sQ.C5Sr2S..N.C... And once you take action yourself, please take a moment to forward this message to your friends and family. Sincerely, Jim Guest President, Consumers Union Nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports 101 Truman Avenue Yonkers, NY 10703-1057 I run a business in Canada and 80% of our sales are in the US. We are now 'required' by American law, to provide social security numbers to US customs whenever we ship to a retail US customer. Apparently, something Homeland Security had passed into law. Many consumers do not want to give out their SS#. I don't blame them. This law needs to be changed................and quickly. If I were in your shoes, I'd try making up SSN's. Hell, illegal aliens by the millions get by with it here, no reason you shouldn't.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I prefer to live my life on the 'out side' of the cell bars. |
