Identity Theft Petition
Here is a random e-mail on yesterday's topic- Identity Theft-e-mail synchronicity :-}

As identity theft scandals mount, it seems as if it's only a matter of time before virtually everyone will fall victim to this insidious form of fraud. Sign here: http://www.care2.com/go/z/24146
That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that 9.9 million Americans are victimized by identity theft every year. That's 19 new ID theft victims every minute!
Nearly every week we hear about new security breaches at companies like ChoicePoint, Lexis-Nexis, Bank of America and numerous universities, which have put millions of Americans' personal information at risk.
Fortunately, Congress is finally recognizing the urgency of this issue. Pending legislation would require tighter security for information brokers, mandate that companies notify you when your personal data is compromised, and limit the use of Social Security numbers that puts your identity at risk.
Urge your Congressional Representatives to enact strong identity theft protection legislation: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/483961807?z00m=24146&z00m=24146<l...
