Attn DUers planning vacations. Thieves are now ransacking
homes looking any personal information that enables identity theft.

So police advise that mail should be stopped prior to vacations and any information like credit card bills etc be securely locked away.

1. I Don't Get My Mail Delivered To My House
I rent a PO box.

And since we have Neighborhood Watch, I'll let my neighbors know that we're going away for a while.

And I'll notify the sheriff's office, too.

3. Scary CO Liberal, you know that the Neighborhood Watch is going to
be a Bushevik Vehicle soon.

Beware of them. They are your neighbors, yes, but the Jews of Nazi germany had neighbors, too...

Beware the Neighborhood Watch, soon to be the Nationalized Neighborhood Watch (though I daresay smart marketing will catch the slip-up and it will b anmed something with less connotations of Nazis).

5. Let us pray that you are right
Although in truth I think there is a 50% chance that the System has been too badly corrupted and parasitized and that all a Kerry/Edwards victory gets us is a handful more years before the Gulaggings (or whatever it will be this time around) begin.

If Kerry-Edwards win and neither House of Imperial Congress flips, then it is too far out of reach and the Voice of the American People is stilled, probably permanaently.

6. Tell me about it
Having been the victim of identity theft, on trash day I'm carrying out bags of shredded documents that would impress G. Gordon Liddy. Especially those pre-approved credit card applications with checks in them. I can't tell you how much trouble they've caused me. Along with those, anything from the university who refuses to use anything but social security numbers for student identification. Likewise anything like doctor's bills or medical insurance statements. Some insurance companies are transitioning away from using socials as identification numbers, but not all.
