Housing Bill Creates National Fingerprint Registry

Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) authored a bill (with 11 co-sponsors, including Sen. Barack Obama) that was incorporated into a housing bill passed by the Senate Banking Committee 19-2 before the Memorial Day recess — a bill that creates a national fingerprint registry.

One of the standards, John Berlau of the Competitive Enterprise Institute says, may “require thousands of individuals working even tangentially in the mortgage and real estate industries — and not suspected of anything — to send their prints to the feds.”

Interesting that this comes from the left.

It is time that the American public realizes that this government is the problem...Not GWB or the Neo-Cons.

BFD, they take my finger print when I just want to cash a damn check.

And with all the crooks in the real estate and mortgage industry; it might be a good idea.

The Housing Bill legislation is terrible indeed. Along with creating a database of fingerprint identification from mortgage brokers, there is a provision added by Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa to report all credit card transactions, including amazon and paypal, to the IRS, putting fiscal burdens on the small businessman as well as invading privacy in order to help finance the Housing Bill initiative which is a bad idea in the first place. If you are against this bill for ANY of these reasons, read and circulate this article and you tube video. Please post this and help get the message out!!!
