The practicality of privacy laws has been demonstrated by their success in almost all the countries of Western Europe. If the U.S. had such laws, you would once again have control over your medical files, financial records, and other kinds of personal information. The threat to personal privacy is a growing problem. Current laws fail to protect us from the electronic gathering strategies of the government and private companies. So I urge you to support privacy legislation by signing the petition I am passing around to be sent to our state's U.S. Senators and Representatives.
Privacy is a basic human right.
