Congress to Allow E-mail Charges Please pass this on to all you know Since many of us use e-mail for business and to keep up with friends and family, I thought you'd like to know the following. Please jump on it right away and forward this to others. CNN has reported that within the next two weeks Congress is going to vote on allowing telephone companies to CHARGE A TOLL FEE for Internet access. Translation: Every time we send long distance e-mail we will receive a long distance charge. This will get costly. Please visit the following web Site and file a complaint. Complain to your Congressperson. We can't allow this to pass. The following address will allow you to send an e-mail on this subject DIRECTLY to your Congressperson. http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.house.gov Then go to "Write Your Representative" Pass this on to your friends. It is urgent! I hope all of you will pass this on to all your friends and family. We should ALL have an interest in this one. WAIT, THERE'S MORE. IN ADDITION, The last few months have Revealed an alarming trend in the Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation the U.S. Postal Service will be attempting to bilk email users out of "alternate postage fees". Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent surcharge on every email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. Washington D.C. lawyer Richard Step is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming law. The U.S. Postal Service is claiming that lost revenue due to the proliferation of email is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year. You may have noticed their recent ad campaign "There is nothing like a letter". Since the average citizen received about 10 pieces of email per day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents per day, or over $180 dollars Per year, above and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note that this would be money paid directly to the U.S. Postal Service for a service they do not even provide. The whole point of the Internet is democracy and non-interference. If the federal government is permitted to tamper with our liberties by adding a surcharge to email, who Knows Where it will end. You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of bureaucratic inefficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from New York to Buffalo. If The U.S.Postal Service is allowed to tinker with email; it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in the United States. One congressman, Tony Schnell has even suggested a "twenty to forty dollar per month surcharge on all internet service" above and beyond the government's proposed email Charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea of email surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6, 1999) Editorial. Don't sit by and watch your freedoms erode away! Send this e-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and relatives to write to their congressman and say "No!" to Bill 602P. It will only take a few moments of your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a bill we don't want. PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO USES EMAIL REMEMBER THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES THAT EFFECT ALL OF US ONLINE LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD NOW, NOT AFTER ------------------------------ From: "William S.

Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish ------------------------------ From: "Vierra, William BGI SF" Subject: New Motor for my 51 F1 Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 16:54:07 -0800 Well I am still dragging on getting the new motor for my 51 F1 to replace the 71 302 I have in it now. I have found an 84 "High Output" 302 at a reasonable price I know an 85 would be better. I am looking for opinions on this motor. Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 08:00:52 -0800 From: Ken Toop Subject: New Motor The '84 HO 5.0 is the engine I installed in my '57 F-100. '85 would be better, I suspect, from the performance angle as it was the first year for the roller cam, and, I believe, it advertised about 25 or 30 more horsepower. The Mustang sites praise the stock aluminum 4v manifolds that came on these engines (assuming the engine you are looking at is stock equiped), saving you the money of an after-market application. I have not been happy with the stock Holley 4180, though, and it is going this spring. With tube headers and 2.25" dual exhausts the engine has great power and tows my trailer effortlessly. You may see the installation by going to http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://share1.esd105.wednet.edu/toopkj/ and clicking on "See Mr. Toop's Project Truck." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 13:24:28 -0500 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: Trim footers Can everyone discipline themselves to remove the unsubscribe information footer from the bottom of messages when replying? It's getting old seeing 4 of them on a multiple message reply. If the list can't self-police themselves with this, I'll have to set up a filter to bounce such posts.
