Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid canceled his Mastercard after someone stole it and ran up over $2000 in charges.

“But Reid said he is steamed about the fact the perpetrator likely will never be caught. “Something has to be done,” he said, holding up his now-deactivated card.”

If you would like your Senator to consider addressing identity theft, write a letter. It might be more motivating, however, to steal their credit card.
