Hello everyone,

Here is the shortcut to the Senate Bill 1614.
http://info.sen.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery?bill_number=sb_1614&sess=CUR&house
> =B&site=sen

I have briefly reviewed the bill, as amended, and the analyses, and I
believe that it is important to raise your object to your state
representatives in the Senate and the Assembly NOW.

If you don't know who they are, for the Assembly go to
http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset9text.htm and look it up.

The full Assembly member directory is at
http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset7text.htm.

The Senate directory is at
http://www.sen.ca.gov/~newsen/senators/senators.htp. The committee that
will hear this on May 23, is comprised of the following:

Senate Appropriations Committee meets every Monday at 9:30 am in Room 4203.

JURISDICTION: Bills that are subject to Joint Rule 10.5 and are not
referred to the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee. Bills that constitute a
state-mandated local program.

This Bill must be STOPPED. While I understand the concern about stolen
identities, the loss of information will devastate the genealogical momemtum
that has been generated since the Internet became such a valuable tool. In
my work, it will prevent us from tracking family members that may be buried
in unmarked graves in our historic cemeteries that are still being used
without maps or records, placing those graves at risk of obliteration.

Send an Email to the Chair of this committee at ,
under Subject: SB 1614 OPPOSE, addressed as:

Honorable Dede Alpert, Chair
Senate Appropriations Committee

Tell the chair that you oppose SB 1614 because it hurts the majority of the
people because of the actions of a few criminals. Explain the value of this
information to the millions of genealogists worldwide who are attempting to
reconnect with their ancestors of the past. Word your opposition firmly,
but politely.

Copy of your email to Senator Jackie Speier at ,
and copy both your state senator and assemblyman.

If you value the access you've had to birth and death records in California
(despite the delays you might have experienced), picture your life knowing
you will have to physically go to Sacramento or the recorders office of the
county where the record is on file. Senator Speier's bill is a knee jerk
reaction to Sept. 11th and allows the actions of a few criminals to take
away our
freedom to access this information.
