Bi-partisan Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Bill Passes House and Senate, Heads to President’s Desk
|
|
| |
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after the House and Senate passed a package of natural resources bills, S. 47, including the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Boundary Adjustment Act:
“I first introduced this legislation in 2015, and it’s now headed to the president’s desk to be signed. Kennesaw Mountain is one of the wonderful historic attractions in our district, and the addition of the Wallis House and Harriston Hill will bring even more valuable historic property to the park. Our nation has long recognized the importance of preserving historic sites, especially those battlefields where Americans fought and died for our freedoms. I am grateful to my House and Senate colleagues for supporting this bill, particularly Senator Johnny Isakson, who has sponsored this legislation in the Senate and fought tirelessly to get it passed. I am proud to be a part of these historic properties being added to Kennesaw Mountain Park so they can be visited and learned about for years to come.”

Our office receives calls monthly from someone who has fallen victim to fraud, identity theft or a scam, such as threats of suspended Social Security benefits or being arrested by the IRS. Sadly, these scammers tend to target the elderly, but no one is immune.
In support of National Consumer Protection Week, March 3-9, 2019, here are some basic strategies and tips you can implement and share with your loved ones:
1. If you receive a call and don’t recognize the number, let it go to voice mail. It is very easy to fake Caller ID so if someone calls asking for money or personal information, hang up.
2. Never give money to someone you don’t know. If you have any doubts, talk to someone you trust before giving anyone money.
3. Do not give out any personally identifiable information (PII) or other personal or sensitive data such as financial and banking information.
4. If asked for personal information, hang up the phone immediately.
5. Report any incident to the Georgia Attorney General’s, Consumer Protection Division.
6. File a complaint using the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Complaint Assistant.
Neither the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) solicits your personal information over the phone. Additional information can be found on the SSA Office of Inspector General’s website. You can find more information on IRS scams at How to know it’s really the IRS calling or knocking on your door.
Veterans are often targeted by callers claiming to be from “veteran’s services.” They may state there are new types of benefits and want money to help you file or may say your claim file has been “flagged” and request personal and confidential information. If you get a call like this, hang up immediately. Military Consumer is a great resource for service members, veterans and their families.
If you think you or a loved one’s social security number has been compromised or identity has been stolen, consider freezing your credit. It is free to do and lets you restrict access to your credit report. You must contact the three credit bureaus separately (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) but once a credit freeze is in place, it secures your file so no one can access it except you.
Additional information on credit freezes, scams, and tips to protect yourself can be found on the Federal Trade Commission's website at www.consumer.ftc.gov.
If you have a specific problem with one of these federal agencies, please contact our office at caseworkga11@mail.house.gov or 770-429-1776. We look forward to serving you should you need our assistance.
