Preserve privacy, block government data consolidation

The proposed consolidation of government databases flies in the face of the 1974 Privacy Act and raises grave concerns about privacy and data security. Centralizing such vast troves of personal information spanning over 300 intimate data points creates unacceptable risks of misuse, hacking, and erosion of civil liberties that vastly outweigh any purported efficiency gains. This reckless effort undermines long-standing principles of limited government data collection and individual privacy that are cornerstones of a free society. I urge you to block this misguided and likely illegal initiative and uphold robust protections for Americans' personal data across federal agencies. The potential for abuse and catastrophic loss of privacy far exceeds any conceivable administrative advantages.
