Do Your Job
Anyone who uses a computer knows the importance of maintaining security. We use safe passwords. We use two-step verification for financial and health records. We also rely upon our banks, medical clinics, and our government to protect our personal data and keep our information confidential.
How about your Clinic or Hospital opening their patient’s medical records, including your recent annual physical results to outside consultants? Of course not. That’s a HIPPA violation!
Now what if our federal government handed over your Social Security account number and payment records, which you contributed to for more than 40 years, or opened up your income tax returns to a few folks barely out of college who are not federal employees and who have not been vetted or granted security clearances by our federal government. Would that bother you? Highway robbery!
Yet this is exactly what happened when billionaire Elon Musk and his young disciples of DOGE computer engineers, forced their way into the Treasury Department’s computer systems. Make no mistake about it: Musk is now able to steal from you and I to give our tax money to giant corporations and billionaires.
This assault on us and on our American government has to stop. Call or write, better yet, call AND write — Representative Tom Tiffany (202-225-3365) and Senators Ron Johnson (202-224-5323 ) and Tammy Baldwin (202-224-5653) and email all three at https://democracy.io/#!/
Demand that your elected officials do their job!
