[Vision2020] Get Bill Moving to Prevent ID Theft!

[Saundra Lund]

Visionaries,

Given the UI's *two* unintended major disclosures of confidential
information that makes those of us whose information was stolen and/or
inappropriately disclosed at high risk for identity theft, I urge each of
you to take the time to contact Senator Schroeder, and Representatives Ringo
& Trail to demand that Idaho introduce and pass a Security Freeze Law to
protect consumers from identity theft NOW.  Visiting the link below provides
a very simple and painless way to contact our representatives.

And, please, feel free to spread the word -- consumers deserve the right to
have tools to safeguard our confidential information so that we can protect
ourselves from becoming the victims of identity theft.

Dear Saundra,

Is your sensitive financial information protected from crooks? 

Over the past two years, more than 50 million records have
been reported lost or stolen from companies across the country, the
latest big data security breach was at TJX (the owners of large
retailers such as TJ Maxx, Home Goods and Marshalls). Now reports of
identity theft stemming from the TJX breach have been popping up world
wide. The security freeze can bring you some peace of
mind.     

Your state legislature is currently debating the security freeze, a
common sense identity theft prevention tool you can use to prevent
crooks from opening new accounts in your name.  Many Americans
already have the option of using the security freeze to prevent
identity theft with over half the states offering the freeze to their
residents.

Together we can make a difference! Tell your state lawmakers you want
the option to use the security freeze too!
