Sauce for the gander

2003-06-20 02:30:59.234778+00 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Lobbiest group posts partial Social Security Numbers of CA lawmakers who voted against privacy bill.

"We should be free to vote our conscience and not be threatened or harassed if we choose to vote contrary to people who are lobbying for special legislation," said Assemblyman Ed Chavez, D-La Puente, one of the lawmakers whose partial number was published.

Of course the first four numbers is really just related to birth place and date. Posting the last four would be more telling.
