Thanks to a new law in Maryland, you can now request the three major credit reporting agencies not give out your credit report. It is just the newest way to protect you from identity theft. It will cost you $15, a five dollar fee from each credit reporting agencies.

Those ads are all too familiar to Angie Barnett, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland. “It is all over the internet, we find them everywhere, I'm listening to the radio, you hear it constantly." But Barnett warns buyers beware.

She goes on to say that those services are steps you can take on your own without paying.The federal government requires all three of the major credit reporting agencies, Transunion, Experian and Equifax, to give you a free copy of your report once a year.

Lake council gives initial OK to income tax

I do not mind paying a tax. I make a pretty good living and do not mind paying my dues I am very blessed. The issue here is where the money is going.

Endorsing Ron Paul, and Why Progressive Dems Should Support Ron Paul

His positions on the constitution, on the war, on globalism on nation building and interventionism are ones I can get behind.
