Help protect Internet freedom! Consider sending the message below regarding taxing and regulating Internet sales to your senators and representative, maybe even Senate and House leadership. I run an online business at elk-hunting-tips.net. All of us buy from the Internet. Contact info: senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm https://house.gov/representatives/ https://house.gov/leadership/ senate.gov/pagelayout/senators/a_three_sections_with_teasers/leadership.htm Copy, edit and/or paste message below: Over 800,000 Americans recently urged the FCC not to regulate the Internet. We told the FCC that placing public utility regulations on the Internet will devastate private investment, undermine competition, and stall out innovation. It will undo a broad, bipartisan consensus in favor of an unregulated Internet that has been amazingly successful for decades. In turn, taxpayers like me will be forced to make up for the private investment that disappears, and regulators may even seek to control content. The liberal groups calling for public utility regulation are extremists, including the group Free Press whose founder has openly called for the destruction of the capitalist economy. These groups have deceived many Americans into thinking that the way to keep the Internet they know and love is to impose draconian, unprecedented new regulations. I strongly disagree. I am deeply concerned that the FCC may contrive to do on its own -- via public utility reclassification -- what Congress has never authorized it to do: regulate the Internet. One former FCC commissioner has warned that reclassification would also impose a massive new tax on Internet service without a vote of Congress; thats wrong. I urge you to reject regulating or taxing the Internet. Please respond to this letter with a clear commitment to block any effort at the FCC to reduce the Internet to a public utility. Sincerely,
