Subject: Check out story on this web site An article in the DM Register about closing of records: http://DesMoinesRegister.com/news/stories/c5917686/10355636.html Once again our government has found the wrong solution to the right problem. Take away from all the good people of this land and punish them, so the guilty ones are not tempted to do ill deeds. Don't punish anyone for stealing these records, just take them away so no one can have them. Richard Harrison was right in his message when he talked about sending money for a record, they will come back and say NONE WAS FOUND and charge you the fee whether they looked or not. It happens in Illinois. Below is the address for Governor Vilsack. There is a place on his website for emails. Let's go to the TOP MAN with our complaints. http://www.state.ia.us/governor/comments/index.html It is best to stay away from genealogy but talk about not punishing the innocent, but punishing those who steal identities. If you want to talk genealogy mention how much money you spend when you come to Iowa to research.
