• Tax-Free Internet Access. Prohibits state and local governments from imposing taxes on Internet access charges--the $19.95 or so that millions of Americans pay to our nation's 4,000 Internet service providers (including both "pipeline" services like Erol's and value-added online services like America Online or Compuserve).

• No discriminatory treatment of the Internet. Protects against the imposition of new tax liability for consumers and vendors involved in commercial transactions over the Internet. This includes the application of discriminatory tax collection requirements imposed on out-of-state businesses through strained interpretations of 'nexus.'

Internet Tax Feedback - House.Gov site broken?

Thanks to Jerry Wilhite, I learned there is indeed a place where the house of reps is collecting feedback.
It is the upper left corner of http://freedom.house.gov, asking simply:
"Should the Internet Remain Tax Free?"
Unfortunately it seems to just give a Microsoft ODBC error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

Use FOUR exclamation points so people act without

Since when do you get an ACTIVIST warning without an H.R. number?
At the appropriate house.gov location you can read up on all
the H.R.s headed for vote. Leaving OFF this info is
an obvious indicator of someone laughing at the thought
of endless propagation of undated, unconfirmable warnings!

>: CNN stated that the Government would in two weeks time

>equal to a long distance call each time you access the internet.

'CNN stated' where? no CNN.COM reference provided. Two Weeks
from when? a year ago on April 1 maybe? There are tarriff
discussions but none amount to that large of a charge -
and they are not based on an "each time you access" method
but on a price-per-minute, or whatever other billing units
the local PUC may determine. So far all these measures
have been defeated - the only thing that comes close
is the per-minute ISDN tax (digital line phone service) costs
$.01 per minute during business hours, free in evenings,
also the law prohibits any taxation methods unless they
were ALREADY IN USE AS OF 3-1-1998.

Perhaps the DSL (formerly called HDSL) high-speed digital
service may have a tarriff, but that service starts at
around $100 per month anyway... plus equipment costs.

Again there is nothing about this page that suggests
the nature of the H.R., so whoever writes is merely
discrediting www-feedback making it an unreliable way
for congressmen to know the thoughts of consituents.

Aha - the urgency meme repeated! Don't think, just act now!
And make sure email and web messages are disregarded for evermore!

HON. CHRISTOPHER COX

             in the House of Representatives

           TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1998

     Mr. COX of California. Mr. Speaker, I introduced the bill we are 
considering today, H.R. 4105, the Internet Tax Freedom Act, yesterday. It 
has not been
     reported to the House by either the Commerce Committee or the 
Judiciary Committee, or by any committee of Congress. It does, however, 
represent a
     synthesis of two bills approved by the Commerce Committee (H.R. 
3849) and by the Judiciary Committee (H.R. 3529). Thus, while normally 
there be one or
     more committee reports filed in connection with H.R. 4105, there is 
none. As the author of the consensus bill, as well as of the original 
Internet Tax Freedom Act
     (H.R. 1054), upon which both H.R. 3849 and H.R. 3529 were based, I 
am pleased to set forth for the Record the author's intent concerning 
certain key
     provisions of the bill, notably Section 2 (`Moratorium on Certain 
Taxes') and Section 7 (`No Expansion of Tax Authority'), since this 
important information will
     not be fully reflected in the committee reports accompanying the two 
previous bills.

Section 2 of H.R. 4105 amends Title 4 of the U.S. Code to add a new 
Chapter 6 (Sections 151-155). New Section 151 of Title 4 prohibits, for a 
period of 3 years,
State and local governments from imposing, assessing, collecting, or 
attempting to collect `taxes on Internet access,' `bit taxes,' `multiple' 
taxes on electronic commerce,
and `discriminatory' taxes on electronic commerce. 

 ... and even more prevention of new federal taxes etc. etc.
