Senator Kohl issued a press release Wednesday discussing his Senate Special Committee on Aging’s (Kohl chairs this committee) hearing on identity theft and consumer fraud. Senator Kohl:

“Preying on the elderly is certainly nothing new”, said Kohl, “but in a day and age where many seniors are not technologically savvy, con artists have an easier time collecting personal information and using it to swindle a person out of their life savings.”

Ironically, Senator Kohl’s support of the recent National ID Act will simply make this problem worse, much worse. Contact Senator Kohl here. Senator Feingold also supported the National ID Act.
