Tell Congress NO Internet Access Taxes
CONSERVATIVE ALERT.COM
ISSUE: According to Wired News (wired.com), if a coalition of congressmen has its way, the government's temporary moratorium on Internet-access taxes could soon become permanent.
This week, a House of Representatives committee is expected to consider a proposal that would bar states from imposing levies on Internet service, but would not affect their ability to collect sales taxes. HR 49, the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act, introduced by Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA), would make permanent a moratorium the congressman initially introduced in 1998. The current ban is set to expire in November.
Cox urged support for the measure, backed by more than 30 other representatives, noting, "The average American does not need new taxes, especially on their Internet access."
A strong motive in keeping the ban is to prevent the Internet access business from becoming like the phone industry, where consumers are forced to pay hefty fees and taxes on top of their regular bills, Cox staffers said.
In addition to the House bill, two senators, Ron Wyden (D-OR) and George Allen (R-VA), also proposed legislation with the same title in the Senate (S 52), to make the Net-access tax ban permanent.
ACTION ITEM: This is just one effort to resist the inevitable urge of politicians to somehow tax the Internet -- but it's a good start.
Go to our site below NOW to send a message directly to your Congressman and Senators, and ask them to Support The Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act
NOTE: There are Congressional efforts in the works to impose several new taxes on the Internet that we'll be letting you know about. Be sure to forward this e-mail to everyone you know who wants to start resisting those efforts today.
Thank you!
