[Boatanchors] Internet taxes and regulation

[Jim Wiley]

List members -

Sent with list owners permission.  (I asked first)

Warning:  Your government (yeah,  mine too) is getting set to give you 
the shaft, again.  And I don't mean the one connected to a volume 
control or tuning knob.

Perhaps you are saying "so what?"   Why could I possibly I care about 
this?   I guarantee you that this is NOT a political diatribe designed 
to favor one party or another - it affects all of us.

Please go to the links below for a series of PDF documents to read that 
give all of us warning of the current administrations plans to regulate 
the Internet. This is another "We have to pass the bill before we can 
see what is in the bill" moment.

FCC Commissioners Pai and O'Reilly, among others, are a couple of the 
voices we as citizens have (at the FCC) who actually make some sense. 
Believe it or not, the FCC does actually try to look out for us - or at 
least some of the commissioners do.

Please -  Add any comments you think are pertinent, and forward this 
message (or write your own version) and send it to your state and 
federal Senators, Congressmen, and friends. Wehave an opportunityto 
quash this idiot plan before it gets "roots", but we need to act.


Here are a few documents from various FCC commissionersthat will open 
your eyes.
