Re: 45th Update To October 14, 2004 Correspondence

Dear Ms. Barker:

Before again addressing the ongoing, unresolved credit reporting agency fiasco ignored by Sen. Hutchison and her office over two years now, it is abundantly clear our formerly great state is hopelessly ill-served by two United States senators who have absolutely no regard for civil and constitutional rights.

… As fully demonstrated by their support of outrageously unconstitutional legislation such as the USA "Patriot" Act, Homeland "Security" Act, "Real" ID Act, warrantless domestic NSA spying, use of national "security" letters to access personal information without a warrant, Executive Orders cleverly designed by the "President" to abrogate the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments, etc.. Sadly, the list can go on and on.

The embrace of fascism by the GOP, i.e. the pernicious blend of government, business, and religion, is a far greater threat than any enemy, domestic or foreign. Particularly, since the cowardly Right uses the perversion and bastardization of "religious" principles to defend and "justify" its embrace. … As did Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini back in the 30’s.

Amusingly, this is the 45th time, and counting, this correspondence has been conveniently ignored by the Senator and/or her office. … Nothing quite like competent constituent service, is there? Then again, this is Nazi America, isn’t it?

-- Where day is night, night is day, and manure smells perversely sweet. … Where only corporate donors and the rich are serviced by outrageously corrupt and abusive politicians, right?

… On a "happier" note, joining Transunion, Experian has apparently finally capitulated and removed both fraudulent listings, -- Alltel, and Datasearch on behalf of Baptist Air Life. The word "apparently" is used, however, since Experian previously removed both, only to subsequently re-post the fraudulent Datasearch listing. Regardless, CSC Credit Services and Equifax continue to stonewall all correspondence from this writer. … Ongoing egregious CRA stonewalling that continues to be ignored by Senator Hutchison and her office for over two years. When will the Senator finally take action?

Did you bother to read the case file? All 44 letters? The information sent from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in your letter of September 14, 2005 is outrageously unresponsive to all unresolved issues to date, and amusingly identical to material sent months ago by James Alredge. Did you bother to read it? It’s worthless. Why waste taxpayer funds? … Can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with bureaucratic BS? Is the outrageous ineptness systemic? Intentional? Deliberately designed to obfuscate? Would indeed be laughable, if not so incredibly sad.

This is the second time two employees of the Senator’s office pulled the exact, same "dog and pony show." Apparently, the Senator approves of such outrageous tactics, obfuscation, and pathetically ineffective constituent "services." -- Cleverly and conveniently, prevents her from having to deal with some of the worst corporate and federal abuses of our time. … Wouldn’t want to offend outrageously corrupt and abusive corporations, however, would she? After all, they shamelessly line her war chest and those of her colleagues, don’t they?

Worse, both "dog and pony shows" exquisitely demonstrate how very little respect the Senator truly has for her constituents’ intelligence. -- Then again, only "big money" receives competent consideration and effective senatorial services, right?

Outrageously, the packet of material callously sent by your office includes copies of canned, computer-generated FTC letters to other constituents identified in that worthless correspondence. Clearly, the Senator couldn’t care less about the privacy of her constituents. … Indeed, proof-positive, Ms. Hutchison is callously unconcerned with abuse of information not only by credit reporting agencies, but even in her office.

The following issues have been conveniently ignored by the Senator for months:

First, Experian has fraudulently altered this writer’s File Explanatory Statement three times over the last year. -- A statement well-within FCRA and FTC guidelines that was deliberately and fraudulently altered to protect the identities of corrupt and abusive corporations.

Second, Experian has refused to permanently remove this writer from mailing lists, cynically demanding further non-germane personal information to do so.

Third, Baptist Air Life, Datasearch, and Alexander Billing and Consulting posted fraudulently-obtained personal information because: 1) this writer refused to answer questions unrelated to the medically-required $10,000 helicopter flight to the burn center, and 2) refused consent to a demanded future property search.

Fourth, CSC Credit Services and Equifax continue to stonewall all correspondence from this writer and have refused to post the File Explanatory Statement as allowed by FCRA and FTC regulations, -- and well within guidelines. CSC disingenuously demands further personal information that this writer has not, and will not, provide. … Neither to them, Experian, or any other credit reporting agency (CRA.)

These four issues, as well as others described in earlier correspondence, need to be fully investigated by FTC. Yet, the Senator has refused to pressure FTC to investigate individual cases. Particularly, this one. Why?

Why is Ms. Hutchison deliberately protecting and coddling outrageously corrupt and abusive corporations that have posted fraudulently-obtained data? Intentionally, shafted a burn survivor who refused to provide information not germane to injuries, and refused consent to a demanded future property search?

Worse, the Senator has filed no legislation redressing these outrageous credit reporting agency abuses. Clearly, she has no interest in these abuses. … Nor does she have any interest in civil and constitutional rights and liberties, -- as demonstrated by her support of outrageously unconstitutional legislation such as the USA "Patriot" Act, Homeland "Security" Act, "Real" ID Act, etc., and other equally unconstitutional Executive Orders all cleverly designed to eviscerate the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. … Falsely, in the name of "national security."

The ultimate threat to "national security" comes not from al Qaeda or any foreign adversary. Rather, it comes from outrageously unresponsive, corrupt and abusive government at all levels. … As Republicans clearly learned, or should have learned, after the shellacking the GOP received during recent midterms.

The Senator and/or her office have repeatedly refused to answer the most critical question of all. If not the Federal Trade Commission, who is responsible for investigating and prosecuting individual complaints against outrageously corrupt and abusive CRAs? The U.S. Attorney? If not, precisely who? If no one, who protects ordinary citizens against fraud deliberately perpetrated by outrageously corrupt and abusive credit reporting agencies?

Again, why has the Senator refused to introduce legislation to correct this terrible injustice against millions victimized by these lawless corporations designed only to serve themselves and the business community, certainly not consumers?

Upon re-launch of this publication, correspondence from all parties will be published on the website. After all, the public must be made aware of how corrupt and abusive corporations have deliberately abused a burn survivor, and precisely how the Senator has done absolutely nothing to date to correct the injustice.

… Has taken absolutely no personal interest. Has exerted no pressure on FTC. Has introduced no legislation to correct these abuses. Sadly, the senior Senator from Texas, will continue be exposed to her constituents for exactly what she is. -- A pawn and servant of outrageously corrupt and abusive corporations.

After 45 letters, and counting, the Senator is not able to claim ignorance. Nor is she able to blame inept, unresponsive staff. After all, the buck indeed stops with the Senator. … Think Texans will ever wake up and hold outrageously corrupt and abusive politicians accountable, -- notwithstanding Texas GOP midterm successes?

Perhaps, coming prosecutions of congressional and Bush "Administration" staffers and officials may indeed shed a little unwanted light, no? … As may Democratic Congressional investigations to be launched in the new Congress. -- Not that Democrats are any better than their GOP brethren, however.
