Every person on this forum could make a list of the newspapers and TV stations in their area.  Then they, or the Public Relations Committe, or whoever, could use that list, and send out the press release  -- again.  (I don't know how many times it's already been sent out.)

Someone could draft a form letter, which everyone could send to the editors of their local papers.  Can you imagine hundreds of Letters to the Editor appearing all at once across the country on a Sunday morning? 

How many writers are on this forum?  What about submitting an article to the local newspaper?  Or calling to see if the local "community" writers for the newspaper and TV station would meet you in the courthouse to do a story?

If these stories start popping up all over the country at the same time --not just the 30 second snippet the networks give, with the statistics on how many identities were stolen last month -- it would get attention.

Mary in this town would call her sister, Betty, in that town, who would call her friend, Susie, in another town, and pretty soon people would be encouraging each other to call the Registers of Deeds.

A few complaints from title searchers here and there isn't going to do it.  But if the Registers of Deeds start getting a dozen or more calls a day from the voting public, to remove those records from online access, something will be done.

Then the title companies will have no choice but to go back to using local title searchers, and the wannabe abstractors in India will have to find something else to do.

Just my $.02.
