  1. Support Internet Tax bills already in Committee by plasticquart · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm assuming that the majority of Slashdot folk are in favor of keeping the Internet tax-free -- at least for the time being. (IMO, new regulations forced on the internet sector for online sales and Internet access would have a horrible affect on an already hard-hit portion of our economy... but then again, I'm biased... but aren't we all.)

    As mentioned in the article, legislation has been introduced in both the House and the Senate that will extend the current moratorium on new taxes for Internet access and e-commerce activity.

    Contact your members of Congress and voice your support for House Bill H.R. 49 and Senate Bill S.52

    Contact Congress concerning H.R.49 Here
    Contact Congress concerning S.52 Here

    Polite emails (and/or snail-mailed letters, as they carry the most weight) simply stating your support for these bills will suffice.
