Subject: Congress to allow E-mail charges

Pardon me for using your e-mail for something non-business related, but
this seems important enough
to share with all my friends and customers, since we all use e-mail.

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.....
