Protect identities - make online dissemination of personal information by a third party a federal crime

Created by C.L. on April 20, 2014

When you register to vote, certain information including your full legal name, address, phone number, and party affiliation become public information. While most of the time, this information is used for campaign and political data purposes, anyone can legally pay a fee to obtain it. There are now websites that show your name, party affiliation, address, age, and phone number to anyone who wants to look for free. This information can be used by identity thieves, stalkers, and other criminals to hurt you. 11.5 million Americans are victims of identity theft every year and this number is only growing. Let's protect American identities and make this information illegal to post on the internet by anyone other than the person who holds the identity.
