• One big thing that everyone can do if you’d like to help VAA is to sign on for membership for VAARetail. If you would consider doing all of your shopping from there (whether it be just your soap from Target, your anniversary gift from FTD, a new suit from Brookes Brothers, 200 Omaha Steak gift packs sent out in December to all of your best clients for the holidays, or anything from staplers and paper supplies for your student, right on up to a complete new computer system for your corporation) it’s easy when you put VAARetail in your bookmarks/favorites! It costs you no more (sometimes even less than if you walked into their shop) but 100% of all proceeds goes to the non-profit goals of VAA. There are over 450 merchants involved and every one of them gives a donation in your name to VAA with each purchase. If you did all of your shopping starting at VAARetail – you’d have a nice tax deduction at the end of the year and we’d have funding to help more victims. Please consider signing on – whether you ever do anything else for VAA - please send this info about VAARetail to everyone that you know: Especially corporate buyers. If 1 in 3 in the US have been a Victim of Identity Theft – let’s get 1 in 3 Americans shopping to help a victim!

Now that machines of this nature are available - the quicker we can get the nation to recognize the need to place them wherever these terrorists and criminals live, work and shop - the quicker we can stamp out the nation's #1 crime. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
