Tell Congress - Don’t Tax Our Web!
By Jeff | September 28, 2007
You can stop Internet access from being taxed
For nearly a decade, Congress has supported a moratorium on states and municipalities taxing Internet access. This hands-off approach has been a tremendous success — giving companies a reason to invest, consumers a choice in affordable broadband services, and the U.S. a policy framework to realize exponential growth in Internet access.
All these gains are now in jeopardy. On November 1, the Internet Tax Moratorium is set to expire — leaving, the Internet exposed and consumers vulnerable to higher Internet access costs. The Association for Competitive Technology predicts that if the moratorium is lifted, a consumer could expect Internet access cost increases of $85 or more a year.
But you can help by encouraging your members of Congress to actively support extending the moratorium. It’s simple to do. Go to Don’t Tax Our Web and send either a customized letter or the one provided. By entering your name, address and ZIP code, you’ll ensure your message is emailed directly to your members of Congress. You may also want to encourage friends and relatives to contact their representatives as well by going to the website.
Thanks for your support.
