Call your senator and representatives! Make them realize that having a tax on the internet will stifle growth in the US, and cut off low income people from a wealth of knowledge! It will also limit communications, and make things worse in something so integrated into society. Don't let the internet turn into the next telecom industry, were fees and taxes double your bill!

DON"T LET PAC'S like the association of governors create rules! FOR THE PEOPLE, not for the special interests!
I'm relieved.
