Child Support Distribution Act of 2000
A bill had been introduced that discriminates against women and threatens the privacy of individuals and the rights of those who are owed child support. This bill has no number yet, but is authored by Nancy Johnson (R-CT). It is called the "Child Support Distribution Act of 2000" but it is really a revitalization of the Fatherhood Counts Act combined with a huge attack on the privacy rights of individuals.

Diane Feinstein is planning to introduce an amendment on a bill
HELP! Diane Feinstein is planning to introduce an amendment on a bill that will stop us from being able to search credit reporting headers for locations of non-payors by looking up their credit header history using their social security numbers. A credit reporting header is just the top part of a credit report that gives the information about name and address. This will really hurt our ability to be able to find non-payors who are hiding.

Senator Richard C. Shelby of Alabama has introduced a bill that would take away the ability to use driver's license information to track down non-payors.
We need everyone to call, write, e-mail and fax requests for him to "withdraw section 339 of Senate Bill 1143". WE need the action to occur right away!! The pertinent information for contacting him is:
Phone in D.C. (202)224-5744
Phone in District Office:
(205)759-5047;
(334)694-4164;
(334)223-7303;
(205)731-1384;
(256)772-0460

Fax:(202)224-3416
e-mail: senator@shelby.senate.gov
Calls are best, and if you can call the district offices as well as the number in D.C. Next most effective tool is faxing, then e-mails. Do whatever you can!!! If we lose the ability to use driver's license information to track non-payors it will be devastating. So get on the horn and tell this Senator to withdraw this section!
Thanks - Together we make a difference!

In the new Child Support Agency, a Special Task Force should be funded to deal with Under-the TableWage Earners and Small Business Owners The under the table wage earners present special challenges and respond to only various and vigorous enforcement tools directed specifically at them. Just as the police must have a drug-enforcement task force to deal with the special challenges of the drug world, these deadbeats need professionals who have been trained to watch for the "badges of fraud". Currently NO-ONE in any DA's office is competent to handle or to even identify these cases. We have a chance to start clean.
Please tell me what is necessary, who to contact to start The Under-The Table Income earner-Task force. sandiegoaces@juno.com
