STOP THE BULLYING OF GENEALOGICAL SITES
Please oppose any legislation promoted by the following individuals in regards to privatizing the Social Security Death Master Index.
X Sen. Bill Nelson FL
X Rep. Sam Johnson TX-03
X Sen. Richard Durbin IL
X Sen. Richard Blumenthal CT
X Sen. Sherrod Brown OH
Public records should remain public.The people in this index are deceased and their social security numbers are a matter of public record. If a criminal can get access to the SSDI from prison then they should not have access to the internet. If there are a few small cases of theft identity there still will be when newspapers publish names of those deceased. I plead with you to leave public records alone. If not, what will be suppressed next?

If public access to the SSDI, a public record, is denied, individuals who are looking for information about their families will be harmed. Please do not support this legislation.

When the way to steal an identity was to peruse cemeteries for individuals with about the same birth date, was the solution to close cemeteries?

The best way to prevent misuse of Social Security numbers of dead people is to make the information public. The wider dissemination of data, the less likely that it can be hijacked for nefarious purposes

Please do not limit access to public records by law abiding citizens. If people make illegal use of public records they should be prosecuted -- otherwise leave the majority of os alone!

Please work on solving the real problem. This type of legislation is simply a reaction to the most recent headline and does not prevent ID theft.
