Tax on Email Hoax

© Copyright 2000, Jim Loy

I received the following email (which I have also seen years before):

NO MORE FREE E-MAIL.....

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 a 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.house.gov/writerep Pass this on to your friends. It is urgent. ...

It goes on to say that the U.S. Postal Service is also going to get money from our email. It seems that there is no such proposed bill. And the above is a hoax.
