Hi All, My appologies, I just got sucked into one. Marsha sent me this and I firmly believe Marsha, please forgive me for jumping the gun on this one. I have learned my lesson and next time I will not jump the gun on any of this, Debie P.S. Go ahead and yell at me for junking up your mailboxes, I deserve it! I am really sorry, I won't let it happen again. Debie, et al, And here's the reply I sent to Michael: > This is that long-running hoax. > > I just went to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and did a search on all bills with > the word "internet" in them. The latest (that I found) was: > 105th Congress, S.442, Oct 98, which specifically *prohibits* any new > taxes on Internet access or e-commerce, for a period of 3 years. This > bill, as near as I can tell, is currently referred to committee(s) in > the house (ref:S.442.RFH) > > There were no similar bills newly introduced in the 106th Congress. Please don't pass this on any farther. I've seen this same "call to action" for 3 years on the 'Net. It may have been true once, but it's not right now. Actually, if you want to do something, have your rep get the above bill *out* of committee and into existence. It provides for a 3 year moratorium on any new taxes! *That's* something to push for! Happy Hunting!
