Hello American Citizen, American Corporation, Foundation, Civic Organization, School Class:

 I would like to draw your attention to:

 Hate Lists in America Today. (Like Nixon/McCarthy era, but in the U.S. today.)

Please read the enclosed information and help in any way that you possibly can to put a stop to this.

NOTE: 

If you are a member of Rotary International – I was too until I could no longer afford the quarterly dues.

I received a call one day from South Africa. It was from the concerned family of an International Rotarian hailing from England. He was traveling on business and when he crossed over into South Africa – He was thrown into prison there and the FBI immediately started to try to extradite him to the U.S. to face criminal charges.

It turns out there was someone on the F.B.I. most wanted list here in the U.S. who was freely using this innocent man’s name and identifying information from another country every time he committed a crime, every time he was thrown into jail or prison here in the U.S. Now, authorities in South Africa nabbed this innocent Rotarian – not knowing this was an innocent man – a victim of Identity Theft in an alarming way.

If you are also a member: I would like to ask you to go out of your way to please ask Rotary International to consider using their CLOUT to help me at this time as I helped this man.

If you have a corporation, foundation, individual, class or group who could help in any way: please consider doing so. I can only afford to send out a small number of these letters and info. Please, if nothing else: make sure this letter gets the exposure that it needs all over the country. Shine Spotlights.

I started VAA. I’ve worked on it for years. We got to the point that we were helping 1500 victims per day when we were forcefully closed down. Please read the attached info about VAA, see my resume and background, but most especially please read about the hate list that - as working with ID Theft victims I ran into others who had 15 to 21 year long problems such as my own. I had not intended to tell my story. I planned to only quietly help financial crime victims. But, when I find hate list victims in KY, AZ, possibly IL and also AR, I became concerned. When I was called into DC and told “You’ve made a wonderful victim – why don’t you go home and keep doing that?!” I again became concerned. I have tried to “get proof” for my own problem for over 17 years now. As it turns out . . . DC KNOWS about me??!  Someone in AZ has gotten the needed proof and is filing suit against the F.B.I.

I never suspected that any law enforcement agency (such as the police or F.B.I.) were actually committing this crime. It always looked to me to be organized crime within their ranks.

 

It is of my utmost concern that with the information that I now have that I get this word out to the nation and find if there are yet other victims out there. I know when my problem first began, I was terrified to speak with anyone about what was happening all around me. When you have extreme problems as I did (especially as a single parent with three small children) you are terrified to speak of it for fear that: it may escalate – something may happen to your children – your family. Like a child abuse case – you are afraid to speak of it at all. As the years go by – you begin to fall into a comfort level. Now that I realize that others know well about me – I am furious to think after 17 years that no one has made it stop.

 

Please: in an effort to put a stop to this for victims who have not yet come forward, in an effort to keep this out of other American households, and in an effort to make America be the wonderful country that it is . . . for all of us, Please help me to put a huge spotlight on this. Please help me to make it stop. Please read the enclosed info and consider: writing to President George Bush, writing your congressman, and possibly backing our nonprofit 501-c-3 organization.  (Not because we will be helping these victims – we don’t. But, because we have been totally shut-down by this problem and our help to I.D. theft victims programs are strongly needed all across the U.S. today.)

 

VAA addresses the needs of the victims of I.D. Theft. We have financial backgrounds and help with the cleaning up of credit records, help with how to deal with the credit reporting agencies, collection agencies, and other problems that come up that the victim (put in a position where they have to clear their own financial record and good name) whether they have any inkling how to do this or not. That is where VAA comes in. We are the only 501-c-3 nonprofit in the U.S. with I.D. theft as our mission. We do not offer any service that is duplicated by any other organization. It is exclusively for the financial side of the crime. Our fund raiser (the VAA National Community Action Project) is intended to

                #1: put prevention measures in place across the U.S. while it

                #2: brings attention to the nation that a victim’s help program is now available for these millions of financial crime                       victims, and

                #3: fund the start-up of all 50 of our VAA offices in all 50 states.

 

We are not set up to help hate list victims and had no intent of even getting into this. Now that we have been totally shut down because of this “hate list” however – it puts us in the awkward situation that we must decide: do we just quietly shut down and say we’ve been “beat” or do we stand up – put huge spotlights on what we have seen and demand that the nation help us with this. If this were a child abuse case: we would spotlight this and ask other victims to come forward. I feel at this point – if this were done: the nation may be shocked at what they may find.

 

I think if you will give me a few minutes of your time and read the info that I am sending to you – that you (to protect your own family and your own American Values) will stand up and help me with this horrendous endeavor. I dread putting my personal life in a spotlight. I am a very professional person. I am a very private person. But, when you see what it is and what knowledge I have picked up in recent months – I think you will agree. If I do not put this information out – and ask for the nation’s help – I don’t know who else on this hate list would ever be in a better position to do so.

 

Please read on. Pass this info on to others also. Put spotlights on it. And, do anything that you can do to put a stop to hate lists in the U.S. today. It’s horrendous to think this is going on in our civilized nation. It’s appalling to go to a business meeting in DC and be told (after 17 years of victimization) that I’ve been a “wonderful” victim! Why don’t I go home and keep doing that?! 

 

When I did go home from that business meeting: it was to the strongest most high-tech attack against our mail, computers, phone, fax, and e-mail that I have seen. It was to the most horrendous personal assault to my own good name and reputation that I could have ever imagined. Character Assassination I believe it is called. It was a well-oiled, well-executed, obviously well-practiced approach to the demise of a good Christian person who would never hurt a flea – only spend years putting together an organization to help victims all across the country for the nation’s #1 and fastest growing crime.

 

Please take in the enclosed information and protect your own family and loved ones. Don’t allow this type of behavior to continue in the United States today and in the future. Demand change now. This is an urgent national problem and your help is needed and appreciated NOW.

 

Thank you for anything that you may do in response to this information.

 

Most Sincerely,

 

 

Martha Steimel, President
