Lawmakers Introduce legislation to Combat Stolen Products on eBay, Amazon,  and other online market places.

The vast amount of online sales of Stolen goods is causing lawmakers to launch new legislation to try and prevent the illegal selling of these products.

Somehow, I wonder why new legislation is necessary, when there are already laws on record making it illegal to steal products from on-site retail locations and for retail stores to sell stolen goods!

Wait–don't those laws apply to online stolen goods also?

I would think so; yet, to listen to your lawmakers, they seem to feel there are new laws to be written and placed into legislative law!

Sounds like discrimination to me; however, I am always open to discussion to make me see other aspects in any issue or subject matter.

I simply–hope lawmakers and legislators would pay more attention to our economy being in such dire needs for resolution to the current downturn of regular sales; and, ways and means to rejuvenate legal sales of products.

Our lawmakers seem to busy themselves with requirements that are not a priority.

The facts are:

There are three major bills that were introduced on February. 25, 2009 sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Organized Retail Crime Act of 2009, sponsored by Rep. Brad Ellsworth of Indiana, and the E-fencing Enforcement Act of 2009, sponsored by Rep. Robert Scott of Virginia.

Remarks to our lawmakers-

My question to our Representatives is, "Why can't you add a simple addendum to the already existing laws referencing and regarding the issues, policies and laws for combating the sales of stolen goods in retail locations?"

You certainly could get back to work on resolving the issues for of our slowing economy; and save the tax payer dollars in time not spent on duplicate legislation!

Let me help guide you on factual observation;
