In an ever worsening economy your good name and reputation within the community is becoming more important. Creditors have tightened their guidelines effectively barring millions of Americans from borrowing money. Even those with excellent credit are experiencing reduced credit limits and closed equity lines. Mortgage lenders, auto finance companies, credit card issuers and banks have all raised the bar. Borrowers with low credit scores can expect to be denied or to pay significantly higher interest rates than those with excellent credit. Long gone are the days of obtaining credit, goods, benefits, services and/or employment with a 620 credit score. In more instances than not, a consumer will be denied if they maintain a credit score lower than 720.

The terms credit repair, credit restoration and/or credit rehabilitation are somewhat synomous. Those with bad credit cannot afford to ignore the potential benefits of credit repair. In today's society, credit repair is more important than ever. Approximately 78% of credit profiles contain some sort of error or omission materially impacting credit worthiness. As such, one would be wise to at least explore retaining a reputable credit service organization in the restoration of their own good name and reputation within the community. With that said, Credit Restoration Consultants may be that credit service organization.

We assist consumers in achieving a favorable financial credit profile.

Opponents of the REAL ID Act of 2005 were given a bit of hope earlier this year when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stated that she wanted to repeal the Act, a law which has been perceived by many as the federal government's failed plan to impose a national identification card through state driver's licenses and identification cards. What has taken place since early February is a cosmetic makeover called "The PASS ID Act," an act that has revived the push for a national identification card.

As currently worded, the PASS ID Act (S. 1261) seeks to make many of the same ineffectual, dangerous changes the REAL ID Act attempted to impose. On its face, the PASS ID Act operates on the same flawed premise as the REAL ID Act - that requiring various "identity documents," and storing that information in government databases for later access, will magically make state drivers' licenses and identification cards more legitimate, which will in turn improve national security.

Proponents of the PASS ID Act seem to be ignoring the possible impotence of such an identification card scheme. Individuals motivated to obtain and/or utilize fake identification will instead use fake identity documents to procure "real" drivers' licenses or state identification cards. The PASS ID Act also creates new identity theft risks for every individual possessing a driver's license or state identification card in that the act calls for the scanning and storage of applicants' identity documents (birth certificates, visas, etc.) within government databases only accessible by "authorized individuals." A prime target for malicious identity thieves will be the sensitive personal identifiers of each and every individual possessing a driver's license or state identification card. Despite some changes to the proposed legislation, the PASS ID ACT is detrimental for privacy much the same as the REAL ID Act.

Health care reform is commanding tremendous attention on Capitol Hill at the moment, so the PASS ID Act remains stagnant. After the late summer recess pay attention, though, because proponents of the PASS ID Act will be back. Despite provisions that claim to allow states the freedom to issue non-federal identification cards, the PASS ID Act will require everyone boarding a plane or entering a federal building for "any official purpose" to show a federally recognized identification card. At the moment, the only "card" within this category is the state drivers' license or identification card.

Children's limited life experiences and immature language skills often leave them confused, scared and silent during times of difficulty and tragedy. Realizing a child's first written language is coloring and drawing, The Foundation for Coloring Away Pain was founded to help children open up. Whether it is a community devastated by a hurricane or a child who has lost their parent to senseless violence, it is our hope to help children cope and encourage them to tell their story through drawing and coloring.

"Because we don't know when or where disaster will strike we need to be always ready to assist the children, our goal with this year's event is to raise enough funds to pre-print a certain amount of coloring books so that we can respond even quicker," says Kim Herrick, CEO and President.
