Privacy Attack: Congress wants all credit card & online purchases tracked and reported to government.
Thanks to www.freedomworks.org for making sure that this story gets out. It’s scary how FAR reaching this bill is. It would require all credit card companies (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover) and online playment companies like PayPal, Amazon and Google checkout to track, aggregate and report on EVER order!
The amazing fact from the article is that Senator Christopher Dodd and his merry band of privacy theives snuck this into the bill at the last minute without debate!
I would HIGHLY urge you to contact your congress person to express concern.

Sen. Reid is trying to pass this bill under the radar by invoking a cloture vote at 11:00am EST.
We have less than ONE hour to stop this thing!!!
Call your Senators at 1-866-928-3035 and tell them to vote NO.
