How Congress Gives Away Your Financial Info

Kevin Drum is right - in an age where stories about identity theft are exponentially increasing, there's no reason why credit companies should be able to give out your personal financial data to anyone who asks. Americans' privacy rights are increasingly under attack by the financial services industry and the Patriot Act. It's time for Congress to step up and defend our privacy. E-mail Members of the the House Financial Services and the Senate Banking Committee and tell them to pass a law that gives you control of your financial info - not some corporation that will hand it over it to anyone who asks.
