URGENT NEWS - ACTION NEEDED |
|
FEBRUARY
3, 2009 I
contacted the TV Station and also “The State” newspaper to tell
them this is going to open a can of worms. Hoping we can get something
going in SC on the need for a database. If you have media connections
out there, you might do likewise. Below is what I sent both of these
news outlets. Sincerely, Doug C.
Douglas Sterner RE:
Story on new SC License Plates. This has become a national problem in
terms of the vetting. Most DMVs require applicants to provide a DD-214
or similar military document, all of which are easily faked. Below are
links to some stories related to the problem. Note with regards to the
problem in Texas, the TX DoT has called for a National Database for
quick vetting. I have legislation before Congress to provide just such
a database, the Military Roll of Valor Act (see: www.homeofheroes.com/rollofvalor
) Some

(Further, I have a man driving right now in Virginia with Prisoner of
War license plates he doesn’t rate.) RECENT

I
can provide you a photo and military records of a Florida Medal of
Honor Plate issued to a phony hero. Mississippi:

There’s
MUCH more. I can provide a photo of a man’s Purple Heart License
Plate (Current) issued in Colorado, and his records showing he never
earned it. This
is a major national problem. See the breaking story out of Illinois
involving the PH (but not license plates) at: http://www.southernillinoisan.com/articles/2009/02/03/front_page/28015647.txt http://www.siude.com/news/accused_administrator_returns_to_work-1.1331066 |
