Congress begins assault on the internet

Congress has just started its assault on the internet. Twenty years from now, you probably won't recognize the world wide web because it will be so regulated and restricted.

In the name of protecting children, this act, rushed through the House of Representatives the other day, places many businesses in jeopardy if they don't comply. Read the article here.

The other act, supposedly in the name of discovering "home grown" terrorism, also assaults our use of the internet to communicate. Read Ron Paul's article here.

Time to write your two state senators to ask them to oppose the first act mentioned above. If our freedom on the net is severely restricted, we're cooked. I'd hate to be able to access only government websites, wouldn't you?

Write your senator now!

Dash off a quick one paragraph letter or e-mail to both of your senators. Ask that they follow the House of Representatives and approve the extension to leave the internet tax-free. You might want to include a sentence requesting that the internet become permanently tax-free. And maybe a sentence on zero internet regulations as well.

Haven't our lives changed for the better since the explosion of the web! Let's keep it that way. Don't be lazy - a paragraph or two won't kill you.
