Social Security number...
I just got the following from Consumers Union (the Consumers Report
people), and found it interesting. 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....1MIa.HQQEdL00 [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....1MIa.HQQEdL00 And once you take action yourself, please take a moment to forward this message to your friends and family.

"ID Theft" is a banker buzzword used to scare consumers into paying anything to protect a series of numbers that threaten bankers with increased costs and various scams. It DOESN'T threaten consumers, as the hype infers. It threatens BANKERS with being swindled, not at all a bad thing in my mind. Having ruined the country with their private central bank and associated greed, they get what they deserve. Every bureaucrat you meet first demands your SS number, or part of it. So, that makes YOU immune from prosecution because THEY, a huge group of uncontrollable individuals with unlimited access to your number, can do anything with it you like. This is also true of credit card numbers you must give every jerk you buy gas and beer from. Bankers try to sell YOU insurance on THEIR numbering system to rip you off. Sorry, Bankers, that's YOUR number, not mine. Once that number leaves my influence, it is no longer under my control and I cannot be blamed for its use. YOU, Bankers, must find ways to SECURE YOUR number so YOU, not me, cannot be ripped off. After all, it's not MY money...it's YOURS, The Bank's! This is precisely why you must shred every DEBIT card giving these same thieves the combination to your bank account, the YOUR money in this problem. Bankers are NOT required to save YOUR money from thieves using your DEBIT card. However, dispite their attempts to make us THINK their money stolen was stolen in our name....it's just not so....(c; If they want me to protect the $96,000 line of credit on my credit card, they simply need to give me the money and let me spend it, myself, paying it back monthly to my own safe keeping OR paying them interest on any I have borrowed from the pile and cannot pay back immediately to it. Once it's out of my control as some imaginary number, it's out of my hands from the thieves....including thieving bankers. Larry -- The Rockefellers and Rothchilds can kiss my ass....(c; |

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. |
