Support Making the Internet Tax Moratorium Permanent,
And Keep Access Taxes Off the Internet, For Good!

The existing federal moratorium on taxes on Internet access will expire on November 1, 2007. Legislation is currently being debated in both houses of the U.S. Congress - H.R. 743 and S. 156 - to avoid this expiration of the current Internet Tax Moratorium. Passage of the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' is the crucial first step needed to ensure that Internet access is not subject to further taxes that would limit consumer choice, delay innovation, and often require consumers to pay more for service. Since 1998, Congress has determined that Internet access should not be subject to multiple state or local taxes, and also that electronic commerce should not be subject to unfair and discriminatory taxes. Wireless is an incredible and ever-evolving resource, as is the Internet, and increasingly many of America's 243 million wireless Americans are now accessing mobile Internet content while on-the-go. Congress should protect American wireless consumers once and for all, and share in a bi-partisan goal of expanding affordable Internet access to all Americans.

YOU CAN HELP TODAY by encouraging your U.S. Representatives and Senators to pass the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' !

Subject: Support the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' - Keep Internet Access Affordable for All
Dear [Lawmaker]:

Since 1998, national lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have successfully protected American consumers' Internet access from being burdened by multiple state and local taxes. The bad news for consumers is that current laws that keep our Internet access tax-free will expire on November 1, 2007.

Legislation is currently being debated in both houses of Congress to keep taxes off Internet access, for good. The 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' – H.R.743 and S.156 – is overwhelmingly bi-partisan legislation, originally renewed in 2001 and again in 2004, that would permanently prevent Internet access taxes, as well as preventing multiple and discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. Only a limited number of legislative days now remain in the current session of Congress for making the prohibition of Internet access taxation permanent.

Wireless, and also the Internet, are two of the most incredible and ever-evolving resources at the fingertips of the American consumer today. Wireless is increasingly becoming Americans' "service of choice," and consumers today depend on it for staying connected, but also for mobile Internet content, email, music, gaming, video and more. Passage of the ‘Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007’ by Congress is the much-needed first step towards permanently extending the existing moratorium on Internet taxation, once and for all. This is overwhelmingly pro-consumer legislation that will keep the Internet both accessible and affordable, right in the hands of the American wireless consumer.

You can support the American wireless and Internet consumer, and protect and encourage the continued growth of these amazing resources today. I strongly encourage you to continue to protect American consumers, and work to achieve the bi-partisan goal of ensuring affordable Internet access to all Americans. More than 243 million American wireless consumers today, many of whom now access mobile Internet content on-the-go, are increasingly saddled with an already unfair tax burden by their state and local governments. Passage of the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' would prevent further taxes that limit consumer choice, delay innovation, and often require consumers to pay more for service.

I appreciate your support, and I thank you for your leadership on this critical issue in the 110th Congress.

Sincerely,
