The Foundation for Taxpayer & Consumer Rights (FTCR), a non-profit California advocacy group, is publicizing their purchase of personal data, including social security numbers and home addresses, of high ranking Bush administration officials, as a means of demonstrating the need for stronger privacy legislation. However, states such as California, which recently passed the strongest financial privacy law in the country, are concerned that proposed amendments (H.R. 2622) to the Fair Credit Reporting Act may undermine these new protections.
