ACT

ACT is an acronym for America Coming Together. This is a group which is sending people door to door to register people to vote. In doing so, they are asking for information about you, the usual, such as name, address and phone, marital status, children, employment status, and your social security number.

Do not give any information to these people. They have been hired by the Democratic Party to get people registered and voting. My specific reason? Forget about them being employed by the Democrats, that's beside the point. People in Missouri, Florida, and Ohio need to be especially careful. They are known to be working these states.

Some of these people are felons. Some have been convicted of sex offenses, assaults, and burglary. Would you like to have a convicted sex offender knowing that you are a single female, living alone? How about giving a burglar the same information and that you are employed by XYZ company from which he can figure out when you will be at work? Sex offenders include those who like children. Tell this stranger that you have young children, and their names and ages.

I'm all for giving felons a second chance. They've done their time and hopefully have put their past criminal thinking behind them. But, you know, I work in a prison. Most convicted felons don't change. Burglars break into houses because it's easier than working a real job. Do I mean to say no one ever changes? No, it does sometimes happen. But these times are few and far between. Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. Don't even try to argue this with me. It does not happen.

Do you want to take a chance with your life, your spouse's life, or your children's lives and give this information to a stranger who might be casing your house?

Not me.
