Schumer & Wes Clark pushing Phone Records bill tomorrow....

[Gloria]

Last week U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer introduced legislation to combat
the growing black market of cell phone call logs stolen and sold by criminals.
The bipartisan Consumer Telephone Records Protection Act of 2006, was
introduced with Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and others
and it will criminalize the practice of both stealing and selling these records
for cell phone, landline and voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) subscribers.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 1:15pm Schumer will stand with
Gen. Wesley Clark to urge the passage of this critical bill. Gen. Clark's
personal cell records were purchased online recently. A representative
from Verizon Wireless will also participate in the press conference –
Verizon and Cingular have both endorsed the Schumer-Specter-Nelson
bill.

DATE: TUESDAY, January 24, 2006
TIME: 1:15 p.m.
PLACE: 538 Dirksen Senate Office Building
WHO: Senator Schumer, Gen. Wesley Clark, and a representative from Verizon
Wireless

1. Thanks, Wes.....

We're here, waiting.

2. So, who would be looking for the General's phone records?

Could it be Jebby? Condi? What about Cheney, even though he says he isn't running for president?

3. a blogger bought them to point out the problem

I can't remember which one did it... it was posted here a week or so ago

[incapsulated]

4. Actually, he wasn't the first to do this

He was following the lead of other stories on this issue in the media.

Except he got Clark's cell# and caused a stir.

5. I hope he didn't do anything with the information he got.

If someone can do this simply to point out the problem, then I feel better about the whole deal.
