If we allow this to happen, we’re fools. I intend to call my representatives in the morning.

I'm waiting for the politicians to propose taxes on communication with others by means of spoken or written word.

I’m sure they can’t wait to dish out another tax on the poor.

I agree with Fred. Taxing Internet access and such is a bad move and IMO an attempt to put the Genie back in the bottle. I don’t think the politico’s ever thought the Internet would grow into what it has and they long ago lost control. They certainly never foresaw the rise of bloggers and such. For me, as a Tennessean, Lamar! Alexander, (RINO - TN), I’m sad to say, has been pushing for an Internet tax in one form or another for several years. Hopefully, my fellow Tennesseans will help to send this twit home for good next time he’s up for re-election.....

He doesn’t say anything about keeping it deregulated and uncensored. I can see the McCain-Feingold lunacy or a Fairness doctrine sneaking past these positions.

Thought I read that they passed a 4-year extension to this yesterday. Not quite a permanent ban, but better than letting it expire.

Don’t worry—

All We ( That is: “WE” meaning ; Patriotic, Freedom Loving, Constitution Supporting AMERICANS.) have to do is get the world out ON the world wide web that if even ONE Liberal Dem gets into ANY Major office-including Schrillary- they can say GOOD BYE to Open-Free-Non-Regulated-Non-Gov’t Controled Internet and..

...YELLO CHINA-STYLE, Communist Dictator type Gov’t control and run Internet!!

When word gets out about that! All those 14-19 year olds that make up the BASE OF Schrillary & MovingOn will Dump THEM so fast we’d hear it!!

Go tell a 17 year old that Schrillary & Company has had plans for YEARS to gain control of the internet and they’d throw down their “End the Draft” Signs they were handed and go back to doing what All Red-Blooded American Teens do best!; Drink Beer and make out behind the football stands!!

Once they hear that the Hilder-Beats wants the Dis-United Nations to “Control” the Internet even THEY would Vote Republican!

DA

ps— CALL YOUR LOCAL GOP and NATIONAL GOP/RNC NOW!!—and DEMAND that they hire at LEAST 5-10 Top Freepers for their ‘08 Campaign Strategies Committee!! Or they are DOOMED!

What’s the best way to blast our congress critters about this one? Any ideas? Phone calls? Faxes? e-mails?

OK this moratorium has apparently been voted on (405-2) and passed in the US House and is now in the Senate's hands. Call/email/fax your US Senators offices now!

Arizona's Congressional reps vote to continue Internet tax moratorium

[Rep. Chris] Cannon says he prefers a permanent moratorium

House Approves Internet Tax Ban Extension - The House approves a new four-year ban on state or local taxation of Internet, though many from both political parties want the ban to be permanent.
