An investigative reporter, headquartered in a large California city, has advised that voting registrations in California are no longer open to the public. I believe there have been restrictions placed on information which can be obtained from California Department of Motor Vehicles registrations also. Each state has different laws. There are too many instances of *stalking* public figures, and kidnapping has always been a threat, even for with people without money. For instance, if one parent of a child is a citizen of another country, he/she may kidnap the child or children and never return the child to the United States. Information on living persons should be guarded--the internet is NOT a safe place. How much spam do you get? I get a lot--some which does not even pertain to my sex!!! E.W.Wallace (female)
